The Nature and Technology of Acoustic Space

This self-contained reference brings together the signal processing and subjective and physical aspects of modern room acoustics. The authors introduce the basic technologies of sound field control at a level which assumes basic knowledge of the Fourier transform and avc phenomena. Techniques of signal analysis are presented, followed by discussion of sound propagation, intensity distributions, and subjective and physiological responses to sound fields and sound field control.

• Describes the applications of modern acoustic theory
• Contains exercises which help the reader develop a solid foundation for future study in the field
• Suitable as a graduate-level text or for study by those with a basic understanding of classical room acoustics theory
