Abstract
An acoustic scatterer element (10) incorporates a plurality of convex surfaces (38.1, 38.2) have a plurality of associated curvatures in a corresponding plurality of different directions. A plurality of acoustic scatterer elements of various sizes in a cooperative relationship with one another provide for diffusing acoustic waves in a room (14).
Claims1
An acoustic scatterer element, comprising:
- a. at least one first curved surface, wherein said at least one first surface comprises a portion of a first surface of revolution about a first axis of revolution;
- b. at least one second curved surface, wherein said at least one second surface comprises a portion of a second surface of revolution about a second axis of revolution, wherein said scatterer element is adapted to be located on a reference surface, said reference surface comprises or is proximate to a boundary of a region of acoustic space, said first and second axes of revolution are in different directions, and at least one of said first and second axes of revolution is either oblique or orthogonal to said reference surface.
