Description of Use and Application
24’x24’x24’ Industrial Acoustics (IAC) anechoic chamber for precise acoustic and psychoacoustic testing. This facility is used for our auditory streaming/localization experiments. The room measures 1.5 stories within the Community Health Building. The inside chamber space is fully covered in Metadyne® acoustic wedges on its walls, ceiling, and (floating mesh) floor. A 36-channel circular array of Renkus-Heinz speakers is affixed to a pulley system that can be lowered to surround a participant seated in a swivel chair. A TDT RX8 Multi-I/O Processor coupled to 6 Focusrite and Ashley Ne8250 amplifiers with a RedNet Dante MADI interface are used to drive the multichannel speaker matrix. A Dell PC is used for response data collection.
