Acoustics

The exhibition of Acoustics was originally created as the Centre of the Noise Ecology with the aim to make the visitors acquainted with the principle of sound and noise and with its impacts on health and working performance. The exhibition is arranged in an interactive way so that the visitors could prove for themselves the respective facts on demonstrating instruments. The exhibition also includes a reverberation and a reverberation-free chamber where measurements of noise can be carried out with the instruments of the 1st class of accuracy. The exhibition was later completed with the historical section that allows a visitor to become familiar with the development of sound technology. This part displays a complete developmental series of microphones, phonographs, gramophones, etc. Musical machines are represented by examples of barrel-organs, polyphones and tack instruments.
Associated with the exhibition of acoustics is the department enabling professional re-recording of historical records, phonograph cylinders and gramophone records to magnetic carrier.
