Sound diffraction
How would you describe the reflection behavior of a flat smooth surface?
The sound reflects straight forward, with the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection.
What is the characteristic of a convex surface when sound reflects off it?
The sound radiates outward from the surface.
What occurs when sound reflects off a concave surface?
It focuses inward to a specific point.
How does sound behave when it reflects off a corner?

Utilizing basic acoustic principles and construction techniques in a cost-effective manner.
What are the primary factors when considering transmission loss in a room?
Density and frequency.
What is a "live room" in acoustics?
A room with many reflective surfaces.
What defines a "dead room" acoustically?
A room with abundant absorptive surfaces.
What is the purpose of an ISO room or booth?
To record multiple sources without sound bleed-through.
How many parallel walls should an ideal recording studio have?
