MYRiAD: A Multi-Array Room Acoustic Database
Thomas Dietzen, Randall Ali, Maja Taseska, Toon van Waterschoot

TL;DR
The MYRiAD database provides a diverse set of high-quality acoustic recordings with various microphone configurations, room acoustics, and signal types to facilitate realistic evaluation of acoustic signal processing algorithms.
Contribution
It introduces a comprehensive and diverse acoustic database with multiple microphone setups, room environments, and signal recordings, filling a gap in available resources for algorithm testing.
Findings
Contains 1214 room impulse responses (RIRs)
Includes recordings of speech, music, noise, and live events
Offers multiple microphone configurations and room acoustics
Abstract
In the development of acoustic signal processing algorithms, their evaluation in various acoustic environments is of utmost importance. In order to advance evaluation in realistic and reproducible scenarios, several high-quality acoustic databases have been developed over the years. In this paper, we present another complementary database of acoustic recordings, referred to as the Multi-arraY Room Acoustic Database (MYRiAD). The MYRiAD database is unique in its diversity of microphone configurations suiting a wide range of enhancement and reproduction applications (such as assistive hearing, teleconferencing, or sound zoning), the acoustics of the two recording spaces, and the variety of contained signals including 1214 room impulse responses (RIRs), reproduced speech, music, and stationary noise, as well as recordings of live cocktail parties held in both rooms. The microphone…
