Acoustic Performance of Victor Ion Popa Theatre — Bârlad, Romania

Exploring the acoustics of a local theater with decades of story means to confer scientific endorsement to the authenticity of its value. Modern measurement techniques, such as the exponential sine sweep, are critical techniques for the evaluation of acoustics in large spaces; the gathered impulse responses of the Victor Ion Popa Theater of the Primăria Municipiului Bârlad are analyzed to obtain acoustic parameters following the ISO 3382 acoustic standards. Alongside standards, innovative acoustic maps have been computed to visually analyze the interaction of the sound waves and the environment between the stage and the listener.
