Abstract: It is very common to arrange for comparisons of SR/PA-systems. However, often, these comparisons are organized in a way leaving procedures less transparent and results rather unclear. Standards for the assessment of loudspeakers do exist. The assessors basically must be trained for the purpose, and the set-up should support double-blind testing. However, in the test of big systems, the listening panel is not necessarily trained, and the practical problems of rigging huge arrays to some degree may weaken the procedures and the results. This paper describes considerations for the comparative assessment of SR/PA systems. The paper also reports the outcome of an experiment where considered principles were applied.

AB - It is very common to arrange for comparisons of SR/PA-systems. However, often, these comparisons are organized in a way leaving procedures less transparent and results rather unclear. Standards for the assessment of loudspeakers do exist. The assessors basically must be trained for the purpose, and the set-up should support double-blind testing. However, in the test of big systems, the listening panel is not necessarily trained, and the practical problems of rigging huge arrays to some degree may weaken the procedures and the results. This paper describes considerations for the comparative assessment of SR/PA systems. The paper also reports the outcome of an experiment where considered principles were applied.

The Engineering Briefs at this Convention were
selected on the basis of a submitted synopsis,
ensuring that they are of interest to AES members,
and are not overly commercial. These briefs have
been reproduced from the authors' advance
manuscripts, without editing, corrections, or
consideration by the Review Board. The AES takes no
responsibility for their contents. Paper copies are
not available, but any member can freely access
these briefs. Members are encouraged to provide
comments that enhance their usefulness.
