Speech Intelligibility is how clearly spoken words can be understood in a room or through a sound system.
Example of Speech Intelligibility
A theater can use acoustic panels at reflection points and bass traps in corners to improve dialogue clarity and low-frequency control. In that kind of Davis room acoustics project, the term Speech Intelligibility would describe how clearly spoken words can be understood in a room or through a sound system. Davis would use that understanding to account for panel placement, bass control, reflection points, speaker calibration, and room finish coordination, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
