Master Handbook of Acoustics, Seventh Edition

The industry standard guide to room acoustics―fully updated with the latest advances

Based on the classic text written by acoustics pioneer F. Alton Everest, this revised resource presents the fundamentals of acoustics along with time-tested solutions and detailed room designs. Master Handbook of Acoustics, Seventh Edition explains the art and science of room acoustics and architecture by combining theoretical instruction with matter-of-fact engineering advice. The numerous room designs inside--complete with floor and elevation plans and performance analyses--can be built as presented or adapted to meet specific needs. You will get designs new to this edition, including video teleconferencing rooms and voice studios, as well as new details on listening room and recording studio construction.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Control and utilize sound reflection, absorption, diffraction, and diffusion
• Calculate room reflections, reverberation times, and modal resonances
• Perform acoustical measurements and site surveys and choose construction materials
• Install modules to optimize early reflections, reverberation, and diffusion
• Design and construct home theaters, project studios, control rooms, recording studios, and other acoustically sensitive spaces
• Reduce HVAC noise levels and achieve excellent sound isolation with proven wall, window, and door designs
• Analyze the acoustics of concert halls, auditoriums, and places of worship
• Incorporate psychoacoustics in your designs to optimize room performance
• Understand the operation of room acoustics modeling software
• Utilize the supplied cost-effective plans and specifications for a variety of listening and recording rooms

   

《室內聲學的行業標準指南―全面更新，包含最新進展》是一本基於聲學先驅者F. Alton Everest所著經典文本的修訂資源。這本修訂版資源介紹了聲學的基礎知識，並提供了經過時間考驗的解決方案和詳細的房間設計。《室內聲學大全，第七版》結合了理論教學和實用的工程建議，解釋了房間聲學和建築的藝術與科學。書中包含了眾多房間設計，包括地面和立面平面圖以及性能分析，可以按照書中的設計建造，也可以根據具體需求進行調整。這一版新增了一些設計，包括視訊會議室和語音工作室，還有關於聽音室和錄音室建設的新細節。

書中介紹了以下內容：
- 控制和利用聲音的反射、吸收、繞射和散射
- 計算房間的反射、混響時間和模態共振
- 進行聲學測量和現場調查，並選擇建築材料
- 安裝模塊以優化早期反射、混響和散射
- 設計和建造家庭影院、項目工作室、控制室、錄音室和其他對聲學敏感的空間
- 通過成熟的牆壁、窗戶和門的設計降低暖通空調噪音水平並實現優秀的隔音效果
- 分析音樂廳、禮堂和宗教場所的聲學特性
- 在設計中應用心理聲學以優化房間性能
- 理解房間聲學建模軟件的運作方式
- 利用提供的經濟實惠的聽音和錄音室的計劃和規格

這本書將為讀者提供全面的室內聲學知識和實用的設計指南。
