OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF CONCERT HALL ACOUSTICS
Michael Barron · 2023
With the introduction of objective measures relating to subjective characteristics for listening to classical music in ISO 3382, most new auditoria are now tested in some sort of model, either computer simulation model or scale model. An alternative is to test by auralisation, an approach more valued by some than others! For work using objective measures, criteria are needed to assess the numerical values, the most common of which is to compare measured or predicted values with an optimum range. If a value of an objective measure falls outside the optimum range it can often not be obvious why this has occurred, what aspect of the geometrical design is responsible?
