Concert Hall Acoustics

NEW! Computational acoustics

Methods for computer assisted prediction of acoustics is very important to research in the field of room acoustics, and for development and design of new performance spaces. Computational capacity in computers has increased since Krokstad et al started out in the 1960’s, but so have our demands.

Origin of the (performance) Spaces

Stage acoustics, support and mutual hearing in ensemble

Reflector array and orchestra canopy design
Prediction of echoes, and flutter-echoes
Diffusivity—its significance to perceived sound quality
Directivity of musical instruments - how to deal with it in a concert hall
Performers perception of own voice or instrument
Demo—sound examples of reverberance for audience and performers
