چکیده

In recent years several classic halls for chamber music were renovated and a few halls of similar capacity were built in Russia. We have selected the most interesting ones and measured their acoustical parameters. Here we are presenting detailed descriptions of five halls in Moscow, Tula, Ufa and Penza in combination with the measurement data. Some of them have long reverberation time and their acoustics is considered as very good. In two halls there is an organ, else one is going to be supplied with new organ. Moreover, the hall in Ufa is destined not only for chamber music; amplified performances may take place there. In spite of big difference between these halls we try to find connecting features and compare them with well-known chamber music halls. One of the main results is that we revealed the trend that general audience has subjective preferences towards longer reverberation time. Those results were obtained at the same time as evaluation of acoustics changes in Bolshoi Theatre Historic stage and Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory due to reconstruction. Else one interesting result of reverberation time measurement in occupied and unoccupied hall is presented in the paper.

Perception 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...

Acoustics for Amplified Music and a New, Variable Acoustics Technology

Surveys among professional musicians and sound engineers reveal that a long reverberation time at low frequencies in halls during concerts of reinforced music is a common cause for an unacceptable sounding event. Midand high-frequency sound is seldom a reason for lack of clarity and definition due to a up to 6 times higher absorption by audience compared to low frequencies, and a higher directi...

Suitable reverberation times for halls for rock and pop music.

The existing body of literature regarding the acoustic design of concert halls has focused almost exclusively on classical music, although there are many more performances of popular music, including rock and pop. Objective measurements were made of the acoustics of 20 rock music venues in Denmark and a questionnaire was used in a subjective assessment of those venues with professional rock mus...

Investigating the formal effect of rear wall structure on acoustic parameters of speech halls (Research Article)

Referring to the rear wall in a hall is the furthest element rather than the voice source, therefor the reflections of this structural member play important role in music and speech intelligibly, especially for one-third behind audiences. Hence the form of these structures can be very effective in the acoustical quality of speech halls and auditoria. In this study, four formic structures are ex...
