Purpose: Illustrate some principles of room acoustics as applied to music rehearsal rooms and concert halls.
Description: This tape includes examples of the effects of sound reflecting or absorbing surfaces, anechoic chambers, and reverberation time. A nice sequence replays a recording made in an anechoic chamber with various reverberation times, to illustrate the effect of the auditorium on the sound of a musical performance. The tape was produced as part of a package aimed at educators who are involved in the design of music rooms and concert halls.
