abstract = "Lately have the demands on good room acoustics in public ordinary rooms increased. Traditionally has only reverberation time been considered in this type of rooms but complementary parameters as sound strength and speech clarity are more commonly used today. This trend naturally implies higher demands on the acoustic treatment. Typical for public ordinary rooms is to use an absorbent ceiling. One way to further improve the acoustic properties is to complement the ceiling treatment with diffusers. To investigate the effect of combining these two types of acoustic treatments have measurements been carried out combing different setups of diffusers in a reverberant room with an absorbent ceiling. The impact on reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength has been studied. In this paper we present how diffusers can be used in order to improve the acoustic properties in a public ordinary room with an absorbent ceiling and how the pattern and orientation of diffusers can be used to adjust different acoustic parameters.",
