Note publique d'information : Heinrich Kuttruff's classic reference and textbook Room Acoustics combines detailed
coverage with a state of art presentation of the theory and practice of sound behaviour
in closed spaces.As well as an update, new sections include the reflection of a spherical
wave from a wall, finite element methods for sound field calculation and virtu. Well
established as a classic reference and specialised textbook, since its first publication
in 1973, Heinrich Kuttruff's Room Acoustics combines detailed coverage with a state
of art presentation of the theory and practice of sound behaviour in closed spaces.
This sixth edition presents several additional new sections, for instance on the reflection
of a spherical wave from a wall, on finite element methods for sound field calculation
and on virtual reality, as well as giving an overhaul of the standard material. Particular
emphasis is given to the properties and calculation of reverberation, the most obvious
acoustical feature of a room. And further key topics include the various mechanisms
of sound absorption and their practical application as well as scattering by wall
irregularities including pseudo-stochastic structures. Extensive space is given to
of psychoacoustic insights and the quality criteria derived from them, along with
new procedures for the sensory assessment of concert hall acoustics. As in earlier
editions, one full and updated chapter is devoted to the design and performance of
electroacoustic systems which nowadays is not just a method for sound amplification
but offers many possibilities for correcting acoustic deficiencies and modifying a
hall's natural acoustics.
