ABSTRACT

The paper describes the results of acoustic survey of St. Sophia-Uspensky Cathedral in Tobolsk - the oldest in Siberia and in the Far East. The studied acoustic parameters are processed according to the ISO 3382 in the situations of empty church and full with people. Influence of filling of the church with parishioners on speech intelligibility is considered in connection with the specifics of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Key words: room acoustics, Orthodox Church.
