Abstract
One of the important things in stage acoustic is how a performer can hear their own and their comrades’ musical instrument. Stage acoustics condition for Indonesian traditional music will affect the quality and harmonization of the performance. Music on traditional dance performance has an important role in determining the dance movement. This paper discusses the stage acoustic parameters for a Javanese traditional dance performance on Cak Durasim Concert Hall Surabaya based on the optimum acoustics parameters of the Javanese gamelan as an accompanying music for Javanese traditional dance. Those parameters are loudness level, RT, BR, TR, C80, D50 and Support. Measurements were made with two variations of sound source position, which are on the corner in front of the stage and on the center in front of the stage. According to the measurement result and analysis, the optimum position for gamelans’ player is on the corner in front of the stage, but with the loudness level distribution having a 4dB difference between the nearest and farthest positions from the source. This result is also supported on the aesthetic side of the layout of the show because its location does not affect the visual side that became the main focus of dance performances.

Summary
Indonesia is a country that has a lot of ethnic and culture. Every place has its own culture. One of many interesting thing about Indonesian culture is a traditional dance performance. The sound that heard by musician, dancer, and audiences have their own perception It could cause a difference assessment between one and another listener. In a traditional dance performance, pengrawit usually is not on the same stage with the dancer. This study has done to know the optimum position of pengrawit on Javanese traditional dance performances in ‘Cak Durasim’ concert hall. The object of the study is ‘Cak Durasim’ concert hall belongs to Dinas Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata Jawa Timur This hall is one of the concert halls in Surabaya which is mostly used to perform Indonesian traditional arts performances include the traditional dance performances. 2. Experimental Method To obtain the stage acoustic parameters, the measurement was performed by using Impulse Response (IR) method[2]. The resulting sound signal is analyzed using YMEC's sound analyzer and Matlab to obtain acoustic parameters of LL, RT, BR, TR, C80, D50, and Support time
