Authors: McMullin, Elisabeth; Celestinos, Adrian; Devantier, Allan

AES Convention 139 · Paper 9460 · October 2015

Abstract

An overview of the optimization, features, and design of two new critical listening rooms developed for subjective evaluation of a wide-array of audio products. Features include a rotating wall for comparing flat-panel televisions, an all-digital audio switching system, custom tablet-based testing software for running a variety of listening experiments, and modular acoustic paneling for customizing room acoustics. Using simulations and acoustic measurements, a study of each of the rooms was performed to analyze the acoustics and optimize the listening environment for different listening situations.
