Consultations

Applications for consultations that take aim at working on special matters or large projects in the field of room acoustics, room acoustic simulation or the measuring techniques on soundfields in rooms or sound sources like musical instruments or other vibrating structures can be forwarded to the address named at the bottom. The consultations are calculated by the time spent on and the rates result from § 3 of the cost decree for PTB services in the presently valid version from 17.12.2001 (BGBI. I S. 3753). The hourly rate is Eur 92,- including a technical extra charge.

An example for a consultation service is the support at measurement problems in room acoustics and musical acoustics

At the assessment of musical performances in specially worked out rooms can arise uncertainties that for lack of  expertise can lead to straining costs. In that case the competence of the staff at  working group 1.73 "Raumakustik" can be offered to assist solving problems. In particular it can be drawn from a store of a more than 45 year old activity in matters of  musical instrument acoustics in the former laboratory of musical acoustics. That relates both to the physical functions of musical instruments and the special measurement techniques to find out the acoustic parameters. Likewise the effect of instruments in music rooms and the use of different playing techniques are known.
