Room Acoustics

Services

The staff at working group 1.73 "Room Acoustics" can perform services in form of a cooperation for any client, who is interested in investigations on special matters or large projects in the field of room acoustics, room acoustic simulation or the measuring techniques on rooms or any sound sources like musical instruments. The services are calculated globally or by the time spent on, 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 at the moment Eur 89,13.
Applications for services like measurements, general tests and a cooperation are to be forwarded to:

For investigations the project has two special rooms with extensive measuring equipment available. These are a small anechoic chamber with a floorspace of 20 m2 and a height of 3 m (V=60 m3) and a chamber music studio with variable acoustic properties and a floorspace of 80 m2 and a height of 5,5 m (V= 450 m3). Beyond that exists access to further large anechoic chambers, a semianechoic chamber with a hard floor surface and reverberation rooms with room limiting walls that are either oblique-angled or consist of cylinder segments. The following room simulation programs are used:CAESAR, CATT (7.2), EASE (4.0), ODEON (5.0), RAMSETE(2.0)

Besides the active work on acoustics by order the project makes data available to users and developers of room acoustical simulation programs via internet. It allows the comparison of calculations. The data include the geometry of a reference room and its absorption grades and diffusivity properties and measured impulse responses. These and further data are well suited to use in private studies. The data will be completed by further details continually.
