Some New Aspects of Reverberation

A year ago Dr. Paul E. Sabine presented a paper before this Society on “The Acoustics of Sound Recording Rooms.” I must refer you to Dr. Sabine's paper for a fuller discussion of the fundamental principles of auditorium acoustics, but wish to review one aspect of the problem. The most common fault of auditoriums is excessive reverberation. This can be cured by the introduction of sound absorbing materials. On the other hand it has been possible to carry this process too far and obtain a room with too little reverberation.
