A valuable text on absorbers ... in the case of diffusers it is likely to remain the standard text for a good while - Journal of Sound and Vibration

Product Description
The unique and authoritative text describes how to effectively measure, model, design, optimise and apply diffusers and absorbers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diffusers: in-depth discussion, December 7, 2005

By	Walter Kawai "Walter Kawai" (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This book is more concentrated on diffusers than absorbers, with extensive care on Schroeder diffusers. Also it is more concentrated on acoustical physics than the discussion on various acoustic materials.

Some peoples (like me) may find the chapter "Measurement of Absorber properties" exceptionally useful.

To illustrate my point: you cannot find the terms "anechoic chamber" in the index.
