On the 16th October 2023, Professor Stephen Dance presented the results of the Masters' students experiment at the Institue of Acoustics annual conference. The paper was entitled, "The effect on speech intelligibility of source direction in rooms". This was an objective and subjective study which showed that you may need double the absorption to keep the same level of speech intelligibility if you are not facing the loudspeaker, such as on a subway station. The students then stood up to took the applause!
