Original Abstract

In small rooms dedicated to music playing and production, such as rehearsal rooms and recording studios, frequency-wise isolated room modes fall in the frequency range of many musical instruments. This low modal density leads to non-diffuse reverberation and to the amplification of certain musical tones played while diminishing room response to others. In the music-oriented spaces, there is always some reverberation preferred over completely anechoic environment. Because of this constraint, it is not feasible to damp the mode to its detection threshold and other solutions and compromises need to be employed. In order to evaluate the perceptual relevance of different room acoustic measures, listening tests need to be designed and performed by a sufficient number of participants. This contribution describes one of the most common listening test protocol – ABX, its principle and the means of analysis of the retrieved results.
