Role of diffusers in the acoustic design of the stage enclosure in concert halls (2002)
Thesis
Bermond, R. Role of diffusers in the acoustic design of the stage enclosure in concert halls. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Previous studies on acoustic requirements for performers of classical music proved
that early reflections were of critical importance for good ensemble conditions. However,
strong early reflections may produce an unpleasant tone quality. Diffusers... Read More about Role of diffusers in the acoustic design of the stage enclosure in concert halls.
