Using multiple computer models to study the acoustics of a sixteenth-century performance space

Acoustics Performers and Audiences in Medieval English Drama

“…5 Research on medieval Stonegate explored the use of multiple computer models to study the historical unknowns in relation to the architectural characteristics of the space and their impact on acoustics, resulting in four different simulations (Table 1). 6 The author also explored the acoustical impact of two different wagon structures with two different orientations (Table 2) in connection to their incorporation to the simulations of Stonegate. 7 The present paper extends this research project by exploring the variations in performer positions as well as the inclusion of audience areas.…”
