Abstract
The effects of diffusing elements on sound field diffuseness were investigated by subjective evaluations using binaural impulse responses (BIRs) in seating areas in a surround hall. The room acoustical parameters as well as the number of peaks (Np) and local maxima within -20 dB of the amplitude of direct sound were investigated to evaluate the diffuseness in the halls. For the listening test, stimuli were selected to explore the combination of acoustic parameters and degree of diffusion. The music signals were convolved with the measured BIRs in different listening positions. Based on the listening test, it was found that positions close to the diffusers with a high scattering coefficient were preferred by the listeners.
