For instance, sustainability is influencing the materials used in absorbersand diffusers. Intractable problems, such as environmental noise, continue to driveinnovative new solutions. Furthermore, the general expectation of better quality designin the built environment has meant that designers have to concern themselves aboutthe visual aesthetics of treatments alongside acoustic performance.This second edition brings the technology of absorbers and diffusers up to date.For instance, the ubiquitous fabric wrapped panel and acoustical ceiling tile no longeraddress all of the concerns of our day. Therefore, we have expanded the descriptionof other absorber technologies, such as microperforated designs. The sound diffusercontinues to evolve to improve performance and to meet new demands for artisticshapes. Each stage in the evolution of these technologies overcame a particular shortcomingand increased performance.
