Acoustic study of Madrid Auditorio Nacional de Música: comparison between simulation and measurements

摘要

This work presents the most excellent conclusions of the acoustic study made in Auditorio Nacional de Música, placed in the city of Madrid (Spain). This auditorium was built by the Spanish Architect José María García de Paredes in 1988 and the Acoustic Consultant was Lothar Cremer. The work is developed in two parts: 1. Explanation of the acoustic simulation results: sound rays trajectories from the source to the receivers are analyzed and acoustic parameters have been evaluated. 2. Measurements results: acoustic measurements have been made and the results will be compared with the acoustic simulation.This auditorium is quoted by Beranek in his book “Concert halls and opera houses: music acoustics and architecture”1. Here, we have studied this room for the first time through the acoustic simulation complemented with new measurements.
