Abstract:
Small room acoustics is not simply scaled-down large room acoustics. This is particularly true in control room design. Both the acoustics and the psychoacoustics of such spaces have profoundly different qualities than those found in large halls or free fields. This workshop begins with a tutorial on the basic issues pertaining to small room acoustics by Jiri Tichy, followed by four presentations by acousticians and researchers working in the field. They will discuss recent research and current thinking regarding reverberation, early reflections, control room design, and stereophony.
