Abstract

Although not often thought of in the context of architectural acoustics, many of Elmer Hixson’s research interests, for example in areas such as noise control, loudspeaker arrays, and acoustic sensors/measurements, are applicable to the design and analysis of concert halls and other performance spaces. In this presentation the author will discuss recent, current, and future directions of research in architectural acoustics, with emphasis on the contributions and influence of Elmer Hixson. Specific topics will include sound isolation and quiet HVAC design; the use of arrays in sound reinforcement systems; measurement and analysis of room-acoustics parameters; and predictive, three-dimensional computer modeling.
