Abstract

Measurements of newer auditorium acoustics parameters obtained in the Vienna Musikvereinssaal, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and the Boston Symphony Hall are compared to show the principal characteristics of these well‐known concert halls. Hall averages as well as the within‐hall variations of reverberation times, early decay times, early/late sound ratios, overall strength or level, and lateral energy fractions are presented. Values of these parameters are also calculated to be representative of occupied conditions. The results give an indication of the values of these newer parameters found in these famous concert halls, as well as an indication of the differences among these halls.
