The acoustics of small spaces are quite different to those of large spaces. Tackling the specific aspects of physics, sound perception, and applications for small spaces, this book brings together the important themes of small room acoustics. It covers sound propagation-the effects of boundaries, sound absorbers and time conditions, physiology and psychoacoustics, methods and techniques of room and sound field optimization, examples of how these principles apply in real situations, and measurement and modeling techniques.
