Influence of acoustics on emotional impact of music in Konzerthaus and Philharmonie Berlin, Conference: DAGA 2016, At: Aachen - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e. V., Winfried Lachenmayr (Müller-BBM BSO GmbH), Jukka Pätynen (Aalto University) - https://lnkd.in/d2y2rTGY
"The emotional impact of music on the listener is an important feature - possibly more important than "preference". How is this influenced by the acoustics of a concert hall? Which acoustic properties offer the more effectful, moving experience and which role do loudness and dynamic of the music play?Recordings with the same real orchestra taken in two halls (rectangular and vineyard) from each two receivers (close and far) are compared regarding their subjective impact in a PC-listening test. At the same time, the participants gave adjectives for each pair to investigate why a certain stimulus was chosen over the other one. It can be seen that the rectangular hall and the closer seats are rated with higher impact.
Analysis of the vocabulary shows that loudness related attributes are driving the decisions (1/3 of answers). In a second step, the stimuli were adjusted to have the same mean loudness. Even though loudness related attributes then loose importance - as expected and visible in the vocabulary data-, the impact ranking stays the same. Spatial attributes, proximity and bass perception take over importance." - https://lnkd.in/dXXTRvyt
Konzerthaus Berlin Finds Clarity With Meyer Sound CAL Column Arrays,
Meyer Sound Feb 6, 2015 - Live Design Magazine
"Ranked amongst the top five symphonic concert venues, Konzerthaus Berlin has recently installed the steerable Meyer Sound CAL™ column array loudspeakers in its Great Hall (German: Großer Saal).
Blending inconspicuously into the hall’s neoclassical architecture, the slender, elegant arrays are used for music reproduction as well as voice applications from concert narration and conductor commentary to emergency alarm systems.
...
The 1,418-capacity Konzerthaus Berlin was opened as a theatre in 1821 and rebuilt as a concert hall in 1977. The acoustics in the shoebox-shaped Great Hall have been ranked among the world’s five best for symphonic music by eminent acoustician Leo Beranek. " - https://lnkd.in/dxw7XfBg

"VCA (Video Corporation of America) is a global technology integrator. VCA was selected to install a variety of AV products into the large remodeled meeting space of the United Nations. This room is extremely vital to operations due to its deliberative, policymaking and representative nature. Heads of state routinely meet in this space, countless news outlets broadcast these meetings around the world.
...
Because of the historical nature of the room, the remodel was done to preserve the original look of the space. To the naked eye it appears almost identical to how it looked prior to the renovation. The layout of the room includes approximately 500 delegate microphone seats, and an additional 1500 listen-only seats. The project required the integrated systems to support the organization’s campus wide systems; and also provide feeds to major news outlets. This was accomplished via leveraging both broadcast and professional audio-video technology solutions to work as one.
...
The United Nations audio systems contain products from QSC Q-sys, Yamaha Corporation CL-series used for mixing, processing and video conferencing, TAIDEN HCS 8300-series for Congress Microphone and Simultaneous Interpretation, Renkus-Heinz, Inc. ICII-R steerable arrays and Bag End subwoofers for room sound re-enforcement. The PureLink PM-series routers provided transport and stereo audio feeds into QSC. QSC and Taiden are redundantly linked via analog and AES audio while QSC and Yamaha are digitally linked directly via a 64×64 Dante™ audio transport bridge. QSC Q-sys campus wide audio network provides 16-channel program audio directly into the centralized broadcast router and embedded into the HD-SDI stream." - https://lnkd.in/eRj5GJCE , Bag End Press
"In the second half of 2014, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of the eight conference rooms including the United General Assembly Hall in the second phase of the United Nations Headquarters Project was installed and put into use. So far, the TAIDEN conference system equipment of 18 conference halls (rooms) of the United Nations Headquarters project, including the United General Assembly Hall and the Security Council Conference Hall, has been installed and put into use.
...
The continuous, low-volume sound enables people to hear a clear direct sound in every position of the venue, and it is not easy to produce a howling sound. When using headphones to listen to the simultaneous interpretation, the original sound will not affect the simultaneous interpretation voice, and it will be difficult to hear.
