Analysis of sound level in the orchestra pit of the National Theatre in Belgrade

Abstract

As most musical instruments have the potential to produce high sound pressure levels, studies aimed at analyzing the sound level in rooms that are used for performances and rehearsals have become numerous. Orchestra pits represent a special case, where in a small and roofed over area a larger group of musicians, that is the sound source, is situated. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the sound level in the orchestra pit of the National Theatre in Belgrade.
