Abstract
Most room acoustic parameters are calculated with data from omni-directional or figure-of-eight microphones. Using a spherical microphone array to record room impulse responses can yield more information about the spatial characteristics of the sound field, including spatial uniformity and the directions of individual reflections. In this research, a spherical array was used to measure room impulse responses on stage and in the audience in a wide variety of concert halls throughout New York State, with both the microphone array and an artificial head. The results were analyzed using beamforming techniques to determine spatial information about the sound field and compared to the results of geometrical acoustics and binaural localization models. Of particular interest was how the spatial data can help to differentiate between different spaces or listener positions that exhibit similar values for conventional metrics. Auralizations were created using both headphone playback and second-order ambisonic playba...
