Abstract

New listening-rooms purposely designed and built are relatively seldom described in the literature, nevertheless problems arise especially when assessing their acoustic quality. Such problems are considered on the example of a new listening-room of the Acoustic Laboratory at the Aalborg University in Denmark. Results of the measurements and testing are discussed and some more general conclusions presented.
