Optimalization of Audio Reproduction Chain for Hearing Tests
Halaš, Rostislav ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Tomáš (advisor)
This project describes basic steps leading to the solution of a problem associated with a poor quality of played recordings in the listening room of the Škoda Auto co. . Firstly, the main technical parameters of the reproduction chain elements are resumed. Secondly, the basics of the room acoustics, such as the distribution of the sound field in a bordered space, are explained. On the basis of theoretical relations, the main modes of a cubic room are calculated. Then, software for acoustic response computing is used to simulate various options of both room idealization (room size, absorption coefficient, etc.) and listening point location. Simulations are compared with results gained by measurement. On the basis of this measurement, the quality of acoustics of the listening room is evaluated. In next chapters, the process of the optimalization of the audio chain and setup of the Automotive Sound Quality software are summarized. To conclude, the results are assessed and further steps based on the project are proposed.

Adjusting Acoustic of Listening Room for Subjective Assessment of Quality of Audiovisual Systems
Bijota, Jan ; Kurc, David (referee) ; Schimmel, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis deals with acoustics of the listening room, which has to be modified to fulfil requirements in reccomendation ITU-R BS.1116. It analyses electro-acoustic reproduction chain, geometric and acoustic properties of the listening room and it also deals with conditions, which the reccomendation imposes on reference listening area. Thesis proposes a solution of listening arrangements and listening room model design according to reccomendation. This model design will be used for acoustic simulation program purposes. Resources of this thesis were speaker data sheet and my own measuring of reference monitor loudspeakers, reference listening room and reference sound field. Listening arangement was made in Microsoft Visio 2013 software. SketchUp Make software was used for model design of reference room. This model design was imported to EASE simulating software and then I started reference sound field simulation. Results of measurements and simulation don't fulfil requirements in reccomendation ITU-R BS.1116. Room can be modified by bass traps, but this modification will only reduce reverbation time. This thesis offers an insight of reproduction chain analysis and also may serve for future modification purposes of reference listening room.
