contents This paper presents UPV_RIR_DB, a structured database of measured room impulse responses (RIRs) designed to provide acoustic data with explicit spatial metadata and traceable acquisition parameters. The dataset currently contains 166 multichannel RIR files measured in three rooms of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). Each multichannel RIR file contains impulse responses for multiple source-receiver pairs, with each pair covering a 25 cm2 area - the typical size of a personal sound zone. Considering the number of sources and receiver channels associated with each microphone modality, the database contains a total of 18,976 single impulse responses. A hierarchical organization is adopted in which directory structure and metadata jointly describe the measurement context. Each room includes a metadata file containing acquisition parameters, hardware description, spatial coordinates of zones and microphones, and acoustic indicators such as reverberation time. A central index links each RIR file with its experimental context, ensuring traceability and enabling reproducible analysis. The resulting database provides a consistent framework for storing, inspecting, and reusing real RIR measurements while preserving compatibility with both MATLAB- and JSON-based workflows. The UPV_RIR_DB dataset is publicly available through the open repository Zenodo.
