Description for Acoustics and Hearing
Paperback. Investigates the question of how a wide and diffuse sound image can arise in concert halls and shows that the quality of concert halls decisively depends on diffuse sound images arising in the onset of reverberation. This book proposes ideas concerning signal processing in the auditory system that explain the measured results. Num Pages: 120 pages, 58 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: AM; PHDS; TGMD4. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 7. Weight in Grams: 450.
In a good concert hall, a big orchestra can evoke remarkably spacious sounds. The concertgoer is surrounded by the physical sound waves, and out of these waves the subjective sound impressions are created in the listener’s head. This biological “measuring device” organized itself during childhood. With no special effort—and quite continuously—it performs parallel data proce- ing and makes no distinction between complex or simple analysis. Imagine that the orchestra, after complete silence, strikes a load, abrupt chord. In that moment we can watch the immediate response of the hall. The phenomenon is called the onset of reverberation. During this process ... Read more

Wie das Gehor mit derart komplexen Schallvorgangen fertig wird, durch die es eigentlich permanent uberfordert ist, beschreibt Damaske in 'Acoustics and Hearing'. Dabei wird von spannenden Experimenten berichtet, die er 1971 in einem schalltoten Raum an der ... Read more
