Liveness
Measure of reverberation time Good or bad?
Intimacy
Room said to be intimate when the first reverberation arrives within 20 ms of the direct sound.
Good or bad?
Texture
Good texture when at least five reflections arrive within 60ms of direct sound
Focusing of Sound
Occurs with use of parabolic surfaces either behind performers or at rear of auditorium
Echoes
Highly reflective flat or parabolic wall shapes
Resonances
Parallel walls
Rectangular practice rooms
External noise
Box within a box construction
Double-valued TR
Playback room with reverberation
Auditorium Design
Control of TR
TR = 0.050 V / A
Where: TR = reverberation time in second V = room volume in cubic feet A = total room absorption in sabins
TR Calculation
A = a1A1 + a2A2 + a3A3 + a4A4 +
An is one section of absorbent area an is absorption coefficient
TR = 0.050 V/A
