Reverberation time is frequently stated as a single value if measured as a wideband signal (20 Hz to 20 kHz). However, being frequency-dependent, it can be more precisely described in terms of frequency bands (one octave, 1/3 octave, 1/6 octave, etc.).
A reverberation chamber is used to test the sound absorption coefficients and NRC of a material. The noise reduction coefficient (commonly abbreviated NRC) is a single number value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 that describes the average sound absorption performance of a material. An NRC of 0.0 indicates the object does not attenuate mid-frequency ...
After determining the best dimensions of the room, using the modal density criteria, the next step is to find the correct reverberation time. The most appropriate reverberation time depends on the use of the room. RT60 is a measure of reverberation time. [9] Times about 1.5 to 2 seconds are needed for opera theaters and concert halls.
Frequency-dependent selection may explain the high degree of polymorphism in the MHC. [13] In behavioral ecology, negative frequency-dependent selection often maintains multiple behavioral strategies within a species. A classic example is the Hawk-Dove model of interactions among individuals in a population.
Speech Transmission Index (STI) is a measure of speech transmission quality. The absolute measurement of speech intelligibility is a complex science. The STI measures some physical characteristics of a transmission channel (a room, electro-acoustic equipment, telephone line, etc.), and expresses the ability of the channel to carry across the characteristics of a speech signal.
Colored noise can be computer-generated by first generating a white noise signal, Fourier-transforming it, then multiplying the amplitudes of the different frequency components with a frequency-dependent function. [26] Matlab programs are available to generate power-law colored noise in one or any number of dimensions.
This does not mean that frequencies above 100 kHz (1/ 10 μs) are audible, but that time discrimination is not directly coupled with frequency range. [7] [8] Frequency resolution of the ear is about 3.6 Hz within the octave of 1000–2000 Hz That is, changes in pitch larger than 3.6 Hz can be perceived in a clinical setting. [6]
In live sound mixing, GBF is dependent on a wide variety of conditions: the pickup pattern (polar pattern) of the microphone, the frequency response of the microphone and of the rest of the sound system, the number of active microphones and loudspeakers, the acoustic conditions of the environment including reverberation and echo, and the relative positions of the microphones, the loudspeakers ...
