Room Acoustics
• Reverberation
• Intelligibility
• Feedback
• Sound System Equalisation

Shapes of room
• Worst possible room shape is a cube.
• The next worst is a room where all dimensions are multiples of the height. A pretty horrible example is a room 6m high, 12m wide, and 18m long.
• A good shape would be, say,
6m high, 10m wide and 14m long

Building Construction
• Sound Absorption Coefficient
Example: Painted Brick 0.02 @ 1khzDrape (18oz) 0.48 @ 1khzPleated Drape 0.75 @ 1khz
Full absorption = 1.0 Full reflection = 0.0
