Overall, the courtrooms listening and speaking conditions are best characterized as
"difficult". In working to make modifications to the room, we have carefully examined these
complaints and analyzed the space to determine the causes. The changes we propose
should dramatically improve the acoustical character of the Courtrooms by substantially
decreasing these problems.

substantially decrease problematic reflections. Many complaints in the Courtrooms can be
linked to specific acoustic reflections, especially where parallel walls occur. Because sound
travels at approximately 1, 100 • • persons in the Courtroomsoften be presented
with several distinct time arrivals of sound from multiple sources. The first, and most
noticeable arrival, is from the front to back wall. The second is from the side walls.
However, there are also numerous reflected paths that sound takes to reach the listener.
Reflections off the ceiling, furniture, floor, or even multiple combinations of all three can
reach the listener noticeably later than the direct sound. As a result, the listener hears
several arrivals; the first is the direct sound,the rest from• of • • '..
If the time gap between multiple arrivals of sound remains fairly low (less than 30
milliseconds) these multiple arrivals are not a problem. However, strong reflections dela
more than 30 milliseconds from the direct sound source begin to be perceived as echoes.
Additionally, image shifts and the masking of speech often result if these late reflections a
similar in amplitude to the direct sound. Several architectural features in the room are
causing reflected sound to exceed this 30 millisecond time window. To improve speech
intelligibility and to control the buildup of sound within the Courtrooms, it is necessary to
ihe buildup of sound that masks speech. The STI/RASTI of a Courtroom should fall within
the "Excellent" to "Good" range. I

11 — Control of Reverberation Time
Our recommendation to transform the acoustics of the Courtrooms involves carefully
controlling the amount of sound buildup within the rooms. Our experience has taught us that
making sure the reverberation time within the room is appropriate for speech and recording
environments is the key to achieving better listening. For a Courtroom acoustical
environment the reverberation time should be in the 1.0 to 0.7 second range (averaged mid
band between 500 and 1,000 hertz). The attached summaries are for the various
Courtrooms, their general dimensions, STI/RASTI ratings, and their existing reverberation
fimes.

2. Consider mounting a boundary microphone in the ceiling between the Judge and
Lectern. This position is close to both parties and would provide the strongest signal
since the ceiling is a natural acoustic reflector.
3. Where freestanding microphones are used make sure they are directional and not
omni-directional microphones. The microphone should just pick up sound right where
the user is speaking into it, being careful not to pick up any extraneous sounds.
Several microphone manufacturers have variable settings on their microphone heads
that can change the pickup pattern and so the correct directionality setting may be
used. %

1 . Add acoustic treatment (1" thick fabric wrapped fiberglass @ 4 lbs density) to the
East Walls. Cover the whole wall (except for the doors), starting the panels just
below the back of the Gallery Seats and continue to the ceiling.
2. Add acoustic treatment (1 /2" thick fabric wrapped fiberglass @ 4 lbs density) to the
SouthWall. Install on the wall from the wainscot height to the ceiling. Startthis
treatment in the Northwest comer and continue to the short wall in front of the Gallery
area.
3. Add acoustically absorptive treatments (1 " thick fabric wrapped TECTU ITU-�.
panels) to the Entry Vestibules for both the Gallery and Bench doorways. The panels
do not need to cover every square inch of the vestibules. The panels can be applied
at the height of the electrical outlets to door height.
4. The existing ceiling provides a very helpful reflecting surface and is to be kept
untouched.
These are three medium size courtrooms of the six with a general room dimension of 311
wide (North to South) and a length of 66' (East to West):

2. Add acoustic treatment (1 /2" thick fabric wrapped fiberglass @ 4 lbs density) to the
South Wall. Install on the wall from the wainscot height to the ceiling across the
whole length of the room. Start this treatment in the Northwest corner and continue
• the ♦ wall in front •' the Gallery area.
3. Add acoustically absorptive treatments (1 " thick fabric wrapped TECTUh-F1na[e—'—

,
1. Fabric cover fiberglass panels which have the fabric glued to the fiberglass surface
and then the fiberglass panels are mechanically attached to the wall. If a panel is
damaged (unlikely but it can happen) then you must replace the whole panel.
2. Stretch -Wall or Fabric-Trak systems. These systems have a plastic trim piece that is
mechanically attached to the wall around the perimeter of where the panels go. The
acoustic material (fiberglass or cotton) is then mechanically attached within the center
of the perimeter clips. Fabric is placed and pulled into the perimeter attachment
strips. This system gives the best flexibility in fabric selection. You can also replace
damaged areas by just replacing only the fabric covering that is damaged.
