The relations between subjective assessment of listening conditions in churches and objective acoustic parameters were investigated. Measurements of binaural impulse responses were made in several churches. A listening room was realized for listening tests using a stereo-dipole configuration.

Abstract
The relations between subjective assessment of listening conditions in churches and objective acoustic parameters were investigated. Measurements of binaural impulse responses were made in several churches. A listening room was realized for listening tests using a stereo-dipole configuration. Measured binaural IRs were cross-talk cancelled and auralized with three anechoic motifs (classical symphonic, romantic symphonic and sacred choral music). A panel of subjects performed paired comparison indicating their preferences. Acoustical aspects that influence subjective preference were identified by factor analysisI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
