Temporal Considerations Differentiating Sound in Review Rooms vs Theaters

Daniel Queen

A standard method for evaluating reproduced sound in rooms must account for the effects of room size and configuration on the human perception of the sound spectrum. Such perceptual differences are partially dependent on the relative arrival times of the direct sound and its reflections. These times should be implicit in the measuring method. Errors resulting from steady-state measurement alone may be responsible for anomalies associated with high frequency rolloff. This paper proposes elements of a computational procedure to avoid such errors.
