Room Acoustics Measurement System Design Using Simulation and Experimental Studies

Room acoustics is an important but difficult part of room design. Good design is achieved more on the basis of acoustic expertise than on pure engineering design. Among the reasons for this situation are the limitations due to acoustic measurement system design and the difficulties in solving inverse acoustic room problems given acoustic requirements. This paper investigates the means for improving the room acoustic measurement system and for validating simulation approaches for room acoustics design.
