Abstract
Measuring process of acoustic quality parameters in sound control room in order to determine the best setup is described. Measurements of six sound control rooms impulse response have been made. The measurements are executed in accordance with the standard ISO3382. In all sound control rooms the same measurement method is used, but the measurement setups are changed. In the first scenario built-in monitor loudspeakers were used. In the second scenario, omnidirectional sound source was used. Omnidirectional measuring microphone and an artificial head were used as receivers. They were placed at the optimal listening position. Principal components analysis method is used to get the most accurate result from measured data obtained under different scenarios and measuring setups. Hence, the measuring conditions and setups which determine the value of subjective assessments of the sound control room are obtained. The results shall be used to calculate correlation between objective measurements and subjective assessments.
