The Acoustics of a Concert Hall
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main purpose of a concert hall is to convey sound from musicians to listeners and to reverberate the music for more pleasant experience in the audience area. This process is linear and can be represented with impulse responses. However, by studying measured and simulated impulse responses for decades, researchers have not been able to exhaustively explain the success and reputation of certain concert halls.

Spatial impression: measurement and perception of concert hall acoustics and reproduced sound
The fields of concert hall acoustics and sound reproduction are traditionally studied separately, with little interaction between them. However, it is apparent that a great deal can be gained from combining the two disciplines, as long as the differences are considered. Firstly, the perceived spatial impression afforded by the two acoustical situations is reviewed, and the similarities and diff...
متن کاملIssues for computer modelling of room acoustics in non-concert hall settings
The basic principle of common room acoustics computer models is the energy-based geometrical room acoustics theory. The energy-based calculation relies on the averaging effect provided when there are many reflections from many different directions, which is well suited for large concert halls at medium and high frequencies. In recent years computer modelling has become an established tool in ar...

متن کاملPerception of music dynamics in concert hall acoustics.
Dynamics is one of the principal means of expressivity in Western classical music. Still, preceding research on room acoustics has mostly neglected the contribution of music dynamics to the acoustic perception. This study investigates how the different concert hall acoustics influence the perception of varying music dynamics. An anechoic orchestra signal, containing a step in music dynamics, wa...
