Medición auditorio Soka Gakkai

This paper describes the procedures used to measure the acoustic parameters of the Soka Gakkai Peace Auditorium in the city of Buenos Aires. Monaural and binaural recordings were made using different types of microphones and loudspeakers. These recordings were processed using specialised software to obtain impulse responses and calculate various acoustic parameters, such as reverberation times, intelligibility and sound clarity. The measured room was found to be suitable for both spoken word, as it has good intelligibility but low clarity, and for music, as it facilitates the localisation of sources.
