The Effect of Occupancy on Acoustic Parameters in a Concert Hall
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper determines the effect of occupancy of a concert hall on its acoustic parameters: time reverberation, speech transmission index, subjective speech intelligibility and music clarity, on the basis of a comparison of their values for an unoccupied and occupied hall Promenadikeskus, Pori, Finland. In the first part of this paper are shown the assessed values of the analyzed acoustic parameters according to the acoustic analysis of the impulse response of the concert hall and the estimation algorithms. In the second part of this paper, the results of the obtained acoustic parameters are shown graphically and in tabular and their comparative analysis performed. The results obtained were analyzed according to standards ISO 3382 and IEC 60268-16.
