Description for Acoustics of Small Rooms
Hardback. Tackling specific aspects of physics, sound perception and applications for small spaces, this book brings together the important themes of small room acoustics. Divided into clear sections, it covers sound propagation, physiology and psychoacoustics, methods and techniques of room and soundfield optimization, and more. Num Pages: 491 pages, 274 black & white illustrations, 18 black & white tables. BIC Classification: TNK. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 157 x 240 x 32. Weight in Grams: 858.
Much time is spent working out how to optimize the acoustics of large rooms, such as auditoria, but the acoustics of small rooms and environments can be just as vital. The expensive sound equipment of a recording studio or the stereo in a car or living room is likewise rendered useless if the acoustic environment is not right for them.
Changes in wavelength to room size ratio and the time difference between the direct and reflected sound at the listening location mean that the acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling these specific aspects of ... Read more

Reviews for Acoustics of Small Rooms
"This book is definitely a great textbook for engineering students who are in particular interested in music and sound reproduction in small rooms. I could easily imagine a course around this book. Obviously, such a course has been the source material for the book. Moreover, it is a great reference for all researchers in the field. I recommend that all ... Read more
