The Design and Construction of Broadcast Studios

The science of sound, for years one of the most neglected of subjects related to physics, has during the past decade been the subject of much interesting research. A certain amount of impetus has been added to this work by the phenomenal growth of radio broadcasting owing to the necessity of providing studios suitable from an acoustic standpoint. This paper indicates certain facts relative to the science of acoustics and sound control and shows how they are applied in the construction of present day studios for radio broadcasting. Examples are given as well as methods of overcoming difficulties in practical application of principles.
