Convention Paper

Absorptions and Reflections: Useful and New Tools in Room Acoustical Design

Authors: Völker, Ernst-Joachim; Fischer, Sabine

AES Convention 106 · Paper 4982 · May 1999

Abstract

For recording and good listening, the acoustical environment must fulfill minimum requirements. Absorbing and reflecting materials and constructions support the recording of speech and music. The reproduction of sound in control rooms and home recording situations have to consider strong reflections, inadequate reverberation times and the influence of modes. The question arises in which amount an equalization at the listening position is useful. For recording and listening the philosophy of the V-criterion should be considered. Proposals for the use of absorbing and reflecting materials will be made, including the explanation of measurement technique and craftsmanship work.
