Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers: Theory, Design and Application

This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area, and diffuser design, application and characterisation are often not well understood by practitioners. Although absorption is more widely understood, it is also informed by new research. This text details the evolution and the current state of the art in diffuser research and application along with absorption. It covers a range of practical and theoretical aspects of absorbers and diffusers and extensive examples of installations for practitioners working in the measurement, modelling and design of rooms and semi-enclosed spaces as well as in noise control.
