It will be seen that the articulation for such a speaker, even under the most favorable listening conditions in this auditorium, does not exceed seventy 2.0 3.0 6. a 3.0 Time of Reverberation FIGURE 10. 6.0 7.0 Seconds Group of curves showing how the loudness of a speaker's voice effects the hearing of speech in auditoriums.

On the other hand, the curve marked (b) is for the loudest speaker in this series. The curve marked (e) is for the average of the four weakest speakers, and the curve marked (c) is for the average of the four loudest speakers tested in the large auditorium. The curve marked (d) is for the average of the eight speakers. It will be noticed that the louder speakers are heard very much better than the weaker ones — the optimal articulation for the loudest speaker is 83.5 per cent as compared with seventy per cent for the weakest one. This difference is quite significant inasmuch as an articulation of seventy-five per cent is required for satisfactory hearing.
