Room Acoustics lecture by J. H. Rindel
Room Acoustics lecture by ODEON founder: "An Approach Based on Waves and Particles"
Jens Holger Rindel, the founder of ODEON Room Acoustics Software, gives a lecture on room acoustics: “Room Acoustics – an Approach Based on Waves and Particles”; a 74 min. overview covering topics such as modes in a room, reflections, scattering, ray tracing, head-related transfer function and room acoustic parameters. Originally presented at the 1st EAA EuroRegio in Ljubljana, Slovenia in September 2010.
