Abstract

See full text

A method of determining acoustical characteristics of a room or venue using a microphone unit having four omni-directional microphones placed at ends of a tetrahedro-mounting unit which are equidistant to a middle point of a mounting unit. The four microphones detect impulse responses for each of n sound sources. The detected impulse responses are analyzed: (1) by determining a direct-sound-component direction, delay, and frequency response; (2) by determining an early-reflection direction, delay, and frequency response of each m early reflection; and (3) in view of late-reverberation components by determining a delay and frequency responses. Direct-sound-transmission-function filter parameters are calculated based on the determined direct-sound-component direction, delay, and frequency response M early-reflection-transmission-function filters parameters are calculated based on the m determined directions, delays, and frequency responses of the m early-reflection components. Late-reverberation-transmission-function filter parameters are calculated based on the delay and frequency response of the late-reverberation components.
