Virtual Acoustics Team is conducting a workshop Capturing the Acoustics of Concert Halls with a Loudspeaker Orchestra on Saturday, May 4, 10:30 — 12:30 in AES 134, Rome, in Auditorium Loyola

The workshop will include presentations from Prof. Lokki, and Drs. Pätynen and Tervo, on the subjective and objective evaluation of concert halls.

In the last 5 years, Virtual acoustics team has measured 20 concert halls with a loudspeaker orchestra, which consists of 34 loudspeakers. In the measurements, spatial room impulse responses are measured from the loudspeakers to a microphone array. These impulse responses are further processed for analysis and synthesis purposes. The presentations will include a detailed description of these techniques and practicalities related to the measurements.
