St. Bernhard church in Frankfurt

A very special challenge for our specialists was the acoustic inspection of the St. Bernhard Church in Frankfurt's Nordend district. Persistent complaints from church visitors about poor word comprehensibility gave rise to a detailed acoustic analysis of the very difficult acoustic conditions in the church interior. The aim of the measure was to achieve good speech intelligibility for all churchgoers. The measurements were carried out with the software "EASERA and Systune" and certified "Class 1" audio measurement technology from Brüel & Kjaer. The basis for all calculations was provided by the simulation software "EASE" (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers) by Prof. Dr. W. Ahnert and the "Aura" module by Prof. Dr. W. Vorländer.
