Concert Hall Acoustics and Audience Perception

Concert Hall Acoustics and Audience Perception (Author: David Griesinger) Audio examples for the article published in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, vol. 24, no. 2, Mar. 2007
The audio examples, made with a binaural image source model, are intended to be heard through headphones. The receiver positions are typical for the majority of the audience. Listen for how closely the perceived azimuth of the reverberant source matches the azimuth of the direct sound. To what degree you can detect the direct sound as separate from the reverberation? How much does the hall sound come from all around you? Note the importance of hall size on sound quality.
1	Direct sound - azimuth alternating +- 11 degrees. For Boston Symphony Hall (BSH) model, 2700 seats. The direct to reverberant ratio (d/r) is -10dB, Reverberation time (RT) = 1.9 seconds.	Example 1 Example 2
2	Direct plus reflections in BSH	Example 3 Example 4
3	Increase the delay of the reflections by 20 ms	Example 5
4	Scale all the dimensions by 3/5 representing a shoe-box hall of 900 seats. RT = 1.2s, d/r = -10dB	Example 6
5	Decrease the absorption to restore RT = 1.9 s	Example 7 Example 8
6	A square hall with the same audience area, but with the ceiling height increased until RT = 1.9 s	Example 9 Example 10
