Sažetak
This paper summarizes the results of a case study in which the acoustical conditions in the largest concert hall in Croatia were evaluated a making a series of impulse response measurements and calculating the values of relevant objective parameters. Monaural and spatial acoustical parameters were measured in the audience area using both an omnidirectional loudspeaker positioned on stage and the sound reinforcement system installed in the hall as sound sources. The main goal of the study was to assess the acoustical quality of the hall regarding its primary purpose, i.e. symphonic music performance, by comparing the measurement results with the results obtained for other concert halls that have already been recognized as being of good subjective quality. Additionally, the design, size and shape of the hall were examined in order to determine their appropriateness for the primary purpose of the hall, as well as for secondary events such as congresses. The calculated acoustic parameters were evaluated and certain flaws were identified. Coarse ideas on the possibleways of implementing modifications in the hall were investigated using room acoustics simulation software.
