For Acoustics we have terms and definitions in 10 topics. The topics are Audio Technology, Cinematography, Construction, Dolby, Drama, Entertainment Industry, Explosives, Film Production, Home Audio and Music Technology.

Acoustics (Audio Technology)

The effect of a room on music. Rooms are typically described as "dead" when they have a lot of sound absorbing stuff like drapes and heavy furniture in the room, which reduce the number of audible reflections (echoes). A room with bare concrete walls has tons of audible reflections and is extremely "live".

Acoustics (Cinematography)

The science of the transmission of sound waves. Generally refers to the characteristics of auditoriums, theatres and studios with respect to their design.

Acoustics (Construction)

The science of sound. In housing, acoustical materials used to keep down noise within a room or to prevent it from passing through walls.

Acoustics (Dolby)

The characteristics, such as how sound is reflected and absorbed, that give a space such as a living room, concert hall, or cinema an identifiable sonic "signature."

Acoustics (Drama)

The quality of a room in respect to transmission of sound

Acoustics (Entertainment Industry)

The science of sound as applied to theaters, relating to how sound travels and reverberates.

Acoustics (Explosives)

The science of Sound, including its production, propagation, and effects. An important practical application of acoustics is in the designing of auditoriums, which requires a knowledge of the characteristics of sound Waves. Reflection of sound can cause an Echo, and repeated reflections in an enclosed space can cause reverberation, the persistence of sound. Some reverberation in auditoriums is desirable to avoid deadening the sound of music. Reflection can be reduced through the proper configuration and texture of walls, and by the use of sound-absorbent materials. Another acoustical problem is Interference, which can create “dead spots” in auditoriums for certain frequencies.

Acoustics (Film Production)

The science of the transmission of sound waves. Generally refers to the characteristics of auditoriums, theatres and studios with respect to their design.

Acoustics (Home Audio)

The science of sound and sonic transmission or sound behavior. The study of the behavior of sound waves in a finite space that acoustically differentiates one environment from another, such as a living room from a concert hall. The characteristics of a room in respect to the transmission of sound, such as how sound is reflected and absorbed.

Acoustics (Music Technology)

The study of sound and its behaviour within an environment.
