Visiting professor Dr Peter Mapp, was invited to give this year’s Warren-Barnet memorial lecture at the Institute of Sound & Communications annual seminar and exhibition. Peter spoke about The use of Psychoacoustics in the PA and sound system design  to a packed audience of over 75 delegates. This was the 5^th time that Peter has been invited to give the annual lecture in its 34 year history.  The lecture discussed the acoustic properties of the ear, sound localization, loudness and frequency response assessment as well as spatial hearing and the effects of echoes, reflections and the inherent latency in digital systems and the effect this can have on intelligibility and visual synchronization and the associated consequences for the hard of hearing.
