The sound pressure level(SPL) in each component of a duct-plenum-reverberant room model was drawn and SPL deviation was analyzed. The trends of the curves were explained by the diffracti on and end reflection at the duct discharge. Models with different room dimensions, duct lengths, duct cross sections, duct locations and duct elbow were constructed, and their response was analyzed and compared. The results show that the SPL curves are smooth in the duct discharge cross section, but seriously fluctuant in the reverberant room; SPL in the duct discharge is only sensitive to duct dimensions, while that of the reverberant room is regularly influenced by all the dimension and arrangement factors. Small room and short duct help to increase room SPL. Elbow has an indistinct influence on all the components’ sound field. Finally, suggestion to reduce the deviation of experiment results was proposed.展开更多
