  • Abstract
    This paper describes the important factors to be considered in the construction of a home music room. The effects of reverberation, room resonances, sound diffusion, and noise are considered. Special consideration is given to the control of acoustical conditions, and a room in which many of these factors have been taken into account, is described.
