Norwegian Standard NS8178:2014 – Acoustic criteria for room and spaces for music rehearsal and performance

I 2014 the world's first national standard on acoustics for music spaces was published. This work was initiated to address the well-known problems related to unsuited rehearsal rooms and multi-purpose halls not having adequate variability for different musical genres. The presentation will give a brief overview of the standard, and on how to implement the standard in building projects, seen from the role as a user. Special attention will be given to venues for amplified music and the interaction between the room and the sound reinforcement system.
