Abstract
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Palais Montcalm, the building has been almost entirely rebuilt to convert it into the House of Music. The main room, named Salle Raoul-Jobin, has been designed specifically for the resident chamber orchestra: Les Violons du Roy. Collaboration between acoustical consultant, Larry S. King, and architect Jacques Plante of MUSE consortium results in a 979 seats concert hall with variable acoustic to accommodate different kinds of musical events. Since reopening in March 2007, the general acoustic has been enthusiastically acclaimed by professionals, by world known musicians, and by the public. The principal objective of this study is to characterize acoustical response of the room with various adjustments of wall curtains and motorized canopy. This important reflective area is software-controlled in a range of 3 meters depending on musical needs. Acoustical objective parameters, such as reverberation time, early decay time, impulse response or C80 factor will be analyzed and compared to musical subjective perception of a few instruments played at multiple positions on stage and for different listening locations.
