This project was proposed by Brian McCarty for AES TC-SDCTV. It was approved under our rules by Subcommittee SC-04 and assigned to the SC-04-08 Working group on Measurement and equalization of sound systems in rooms.
INITIATION DATE | 2013-03-04 |
TITLE | AES-X219, Method of measurement for frequency and impulse response of sound systems in auditoria |
SCOPE | to specify a method of measurement for frequency and impulse response of sound systems in auditoria. |
OUTPUT INTENT | Standard |
RATIONALE | The audience experience of sound reproduced through loudspeakers in an auditorium can vary greatly. In many applications where sound is reproduced in auditoria, a predictable performance is valued. While a number of different electro-acoustic and acoustic parameters contribute to this experience, a standard method of measuring the frequency & impulse response of the sound as presented to the audience by the loudspeaker system(s) will be a necessary part of any more general solution. |
WHO BENEFITS? | Sound system designers, specifiers, and installers. |
WHY AES? | AES has the extensive electro-acoustic measurement expertise necessary to address this issue. |
