The purpose of this study is (1) to examine whether the differences of sound-field qualities among seats in a music hall are accountable by a kind of multivariate procedure, (2) to examine whether subjective characteristics of several music halls are comparable with this technique, and (3) to propose a new method to estimate sound-field characteristics of music halls from physical terms, in place of words used in conventional techniques. Experimental procedures: (1) First, program sources are recorded in an anechoic room, and those sources are reproduced through a omnidirectional loudspeaker system on the stage of a music hall, Yamaha Music Camp. Those reproduced sounds are recorded stereophonically at each seat. (2) Then the hearing tests for those reproduced sources are carried out with dynamic receivers in a sound-proof room. (3) At the same time acoustic characteristics of the room such as percent-articulation, directional diffusivity, definition, reverberation time, transmission characteristics, SPL variation, etc., at the respective seat are measured. Subjective characteristics were first analyzed by multidimensional scaling (MDS), which yielded three orthogonal factors. Then, principal axis method (PAM) was applied to the correlation matrix of these factors and the physical measurements. The results were that three factors were extracted by PAM; the first represents SPL level, the second reverberation time or definition, while the third is not interpreted. An interpretation of these subjective characteristics in terms of physical measurements is proposed.
