Abstract
Cliff Temple Baptist Church, located in Dallas, Texas, prides itself on its excellent music facilities which are not only used for worship, but also for recording RCA's Dallas Symphony series of digital Red Seal albums. Reviewers such as David Hall [Stereo Rev. 46, 76 (1981)] have highly praised the acoustics of Cliff Temple, as well deserved according to this study. Four types of objective data consisting of noise measurements, echograms, reverberation plots, and characteristic spectra, are used to determine sound field characteristics present in the hall. Using wide dynamic range analysis techniques [R. Campbell and R. Lysiak, Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 28, 200 (1983)] greatly enhanced the measurement of acoustical parameters, giving insight into the subjectively perceived superb acoustical qualities. The objective data is then applied to subjective categories which are used for comparison of Cliff Temple Baptist Church with other facilities. [R. Campbell, M.
