A New Method for the Reverberation Time Measurement on Acoustic Rooms

실 음향에서의 잔향 시간 측정 개선에 관한 연구

It is a difficult and important task to measure the reverberation time of an acoustic room with a short reverberation time. This paper presents a new technique to measure the reverberation time of an acoustic room with low value of BT60. The digital signal processing technique used to do this is the wavelet filter which is very flexible to design the 1/n octave band filter and has no delay problem compared with the conventional IIR digital filter. This method is successfully applied to the measurement of the reverberation time at low frequency band of famous concert halls in Korea.
