What is the title of the paper?
The effect of purported acoustically transparent materials on sound propagation
What is the paper about?
This paper investigates the effects of purportedly acoustically transparent materials, such as LED walls and acoustic scrims, on sound propagation. It aims to determine how these materials impact sound quality, focusing on their acoustic transparency and diffusion properties through experimental analysis.
Why should people be interested in this work?
People involved in audio engineering, event production, and stage design should find this work interesting. It provides valuable insights into how visual elements in live settings affect sound propagation, crucial for optimizing auditory experiences without compromising visual aesthetics.
