Thoroughly revised to include new acoustical design techniques, Master Handbook of Acoustics, Sixth Edition, explains the art and science of room acoustics and architecture by combining theoretical instruction with matter-of-fact engineering advice.

Written by renowned experts in the field and refined through several editions, this fully updated classic describes the fundamentals of acoustical properties, as well as the latest solutions to acoustical problems. Throughout, this authoritative text provides clear explanations, describes hands-on techniques, and features numerous room designs that can be built as presented, or adapted to your particular needs.

Understand how sound waves travel in free fields and in enclosed spaces
Learn how human sound perception and psychoacoustics affect room design
Calculate and predict reflections, reverberation times, and room modes
Perform acoustical measurements and site surveys, and choose construction materials
Design, build, and install treatment modules to optimize early reflections, reverberation, and diffusion
Design and build home theaters, home studios, control rooms, recording studios, and other acoustically sensitive spaces
Reduce HVAC noise levels, and achieve excellent sound isolation with proven wall, window, and door designs
Understand the acoustics of auditoriums and concert halls
Utilize the supplied cost-effective plans and specifications for a variety of recording and listening rooms[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”19979″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https://amzn.to/3bK0jI7″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
