To establish a definite list of the most important objective criteria for concert halls is not easy, but it is suggested that a group of four or five criteria may be sufficient to characterise, in general, the 'acoustics" of a specific hall. Comparing various concert halls by means of their measured

β¦ Synopsis
A survey of values of the inversion index (II) in a number of concert halls reveals large variations. Extreme values occur for stages of obviously quite different properties.
Recent investigations have concentrated on the energy balance between direct sound energy and early refection energy for a number of concert hall stages.
Some numerical results, together with the corresponding reflectograms, are commented upon.
