Abstract
In small multipurpose halls to be equipped with electronic
reverberation enhancement systems, selecting a very low natural
reverberation time is advantageous for several reasons. It will 1)
reduce the risk of feedback, 2) increase the possible range of
room acoustic variation and 3) allow for more natural combinations
of room acoustic properties. Consequently, the natural
reverberation time in a newly opened 350 seat multipurpose hall in
Denmark was designed as low as 0.7 sec. Two different
reverberation enhancement systems were considered and tested in
the hall. The objective and subjective testing results are
reported and compared with previous results obtained in another
small hall supplied with a similar enhancement system. The results
concerning 'realism' are also compared with acoustic properties
found in 'natural' halls of different sizes and reverberation
times.
