RAVEN Benchmark using the Loudspeaker Orchestra

Abstract:
In order to examine the impact of different architectural features on sound source distance perception in future studies, the uncertainty of auralization results needs to be minimized and quantified. The RAVEN room acoustic software was benchmarked against measurements of the loudspeaker orchestra by Pätynen et al. in the Gasteig concert hall in Munich. The source arrangement used is essential as it diversifies the direct and reflected sound paths, changing the perception compared to a single omnidirectional room excitation. Various objective and subjective measures are presented to illustrate the particularities identified during our research.
