Open-plan office
Here you can listen to an open-plan office environment. The multi source auralisation is based on miscellaneous speech and office noises, produced by ODEON A/S. The recordings were carried out in the anechoic chamber of the Technical University of Denmark. ODEON’s AudioFX tool is used to create several versions of the same recording and to make sure all recordings have the same duration.
The sources and receivers are shown below. Red dots are sources, producing speech or office noises. The blue dots are the receiver positions used in the audio examples.

Below you may download an ODEON Zip Archive of this example, which is a packaged ODEON model (for ODEON Auditorium or Combined, 15.15 or newer) containing all the necessary files to run it: room geometry, assigned materials, source and receiver placements, anechoic recordings, etc. The extracted anechoic recordings can then be used for auralisations on any other room model.
To unzip an ODEON Zip Archive:
- Launch ODEON
- Go to File > Zip > Unzip archive
- Select your downloaded ODEON Zip Archive
- Select a folder to extract the files
ODEON will then automatically load the room.
This Zip Archive also contains an AudioFX batch file (.afx) to generate extra audio files from the downloaded ones. If using ODEON 16.08 or newer, this batch file will be run automatically. Otherwise, it must be run manually by going to the Tools menu > Audio FX > Open batch file.
We have more ODEON Zip Archives available for download, which include different room models and anechoic recordings.
