Cox (acoustics, Salford U.) and D'Antonio (CEO, RPG Diffuser Systems Inc.) describe effective techniques for measuring, modeling, designing, and applying diffusers and absorbers. Absorbers and
diffusers are two of the primary design elements for changing acoustic conditions in rooms, partially enclosed spaces, and outdoors. This second edition provides current research, standards,
and practices in the field. Expanded sections on absorbers include more information about noise control. Additional topics include: porous absorption, resonant absorbers, other types of
absorbers, Schroeder diffusers, geometric reflectors and diffusers, hybrid surfaces, and appendices with coefficient tables. Numerous graphs, illustrations, and photographs are included.
