"Following these early investigations considerable further research has been carried out, thus providing a solid scientific base from which to approach this difficult subject."--BOOK JACKET. "This book contains a significant amount of state-of-the-art knowledge on room acoustics. Presented in six chapters, it is written by authors or work teams, all of whom are internationally acknowledged researchers in this scientific-artistic-technical field."--BOOK JACKET.
