Julius Newell, Keith Holland, Phillip Newell Read more SOUNDTRACK AS AUDITORY INTERFACE: EXPLORING AN ALTERNATIVE TO AUDIO DESCRIPTION FOR THEATRE Theatre conventionally relies heavily on the visual, for instance to convey narrative and context, and to set the scene. This reliance can significantly hinder the experience of blind and visually impaired people, and can in some cases exclude them entirely. Audio description for theatre attempts to make performances accessible for blind and visually impaired patrons by translating the visual aspects of a performance into a spoken commentary that fits between the gaps in actors’ dialogue. M Dalgleish, N Reading Read more ACOUSTICS OF REPRODUCED SOUND IN LARGE SPACES This paper presents some thoughts on the acoustics of reproduced sound in large spaces, focusing mainly on the physical acoustic requirements of the room, and follows a presentation to the Institute London branch in 2015 on large sound systems [1]. The focus of the previous presentation was on sound system design and this paper follows up on a comment in that presentation that it is easier to design a large sound system design in a space with a good acoustics.

Hearing loss affects one in six people in the United Kingdom and, given an ageing population, this figure is increasing.1 Numerous studies highlight that improvements in the intelligibility of television sound are required to increase television’s accessibility to individuals with hearing loss.2–4 Recent developments in broadcast technology, in particular the advent of object-based broadcasting, show the potential to deliver real improvements in television accessibility.4–7 Effective strategies to improve the intelligibility of television sound are predicated on intelligibility evalua L Ward, B Shirley, WJ Davies Read more
