Abstract

As presented at Acoustics’08 Paris, the need for an objective parameter proved to be necessary being able to optimize stage conditions (canopy position) for musicians as well as for the conductor. To be able to further develop and validate such an objective parameter measurements have been carried out on 7 stages of concert halls in the Netherlands within the framework of the Dutch Students Orchestra tour visiting these halls. In addition to the measurements the orchestra as well as the conductor filled in a questionnaire after each concert. So with these results we were able to check the correlation between the objective measured parameters and the musicians and the conductors subjective experience. In this paper the new parameters merit in relation to the subjective response of musicians to stage acoustics is elucidated.
