A new and well designed sound system was recently installed in a very reverberant high school gymnasium. While the new sound system performs much better than the previous system, would its performance be significantly better if the gymnasium reverberation time and undesirable sound reflections were properly controlled? This situation is investigated with binaural audio recordings of the new sound system with the existing room acoustics and by computer modeling and computer auralization with existing acoustical conditions and with improved room acoustics.
