Abstract
Values of newer auditorium acoustics quantities are presented for measurements in three well-known classical concert halls: the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vienna Grosser Musikvereinssaal, and the Boston Symphony Hall. The measured octave band quantities included reverberation time, early decay time, sound strength or level, early/late sound ratios, and lateral energy fractions. Hall average values from the measured unoccupied conditions are presented as well as estimated occupied values. The variation of parameters with both source and receiver position is examined in detail. The results help to define the range of conditions that are to be expected in good concert halls, and reveal some of the detailed differences among these halls.
