An important branch of acoustics deals with the transmission of sound waves inside reverberant rooms, such as auditoriums, theaters, and concert halls. In a reverberant room the sound reaches a listener's ears not only directly... but also by way of reflections from the ceiling, the floor, and the walls. 1, record 1, English, - reverberant%20room

Sala de conciertos. Es una estructura íntima donde las paredes y el techo se funden en una membrana envolvente y continua como en los antiguos oratorios irlandeses. Todo esta concebido para captar los delicados efectos tonales de los instrumentos individuales y el solo de voz. Las tablillas horizontales que forman el techo declinan hacia el estrado en un ondear ininterrumpido que hace visibles las ondas sonoras. Ese intenso efecto espacial que concentra la atención sobre el ejecutante se acentúa mas aun por los efectos laterales de luz que delinean la flotante construcción del techo. El encanto espacial reside en el cuidado con que fueron tratados los detalles y en el homenaje que tributa al solista. 2, record 2, Spanish, - sala%20de%20conciertos

Room Acoustics. Acoustics is usually very broadly defined as "the science of sound. "The term "Room Acoustics" can be more narrowly defined as the shaping and equipping of an enclosed space to obtain the best possible conditions for faithful hearing of wanted sound and the direction and the reduction of unwanted sound.... Reverberation is a basic acoustic property of a room. It can enrich speech and music in all areas--or it can slur speech and generate higher noise levels throughout a room, depending upon the room volume, timing, and absorption. 1, record 3, English, - acoustic%20property
