Professional space
Every seat should hear clearly.
Speech clarity, even coverage and controlled reverberation for auditoriums, halls and multipurpose spaces.
The brief
What an auditorium has to get right
Large rooms amplify acoustic problems. We model the volume and surfaces, design treatment and sound reinforcement together, and verify the result by measurement.
- 01Speech that is clear at the back row
- 02Reverberation suited to the room's use
- 03No echoes from rear walls or ceilings
- 04Even sound coverage
- 05Low background noise from ventilation and outside

Questions
Common questions
What makes speech hard to understand in a hall?
Usually too much reverberation and late reflections, which blur consonants. Controlling reverberation and designing the sound system for even coverage both help.
Can an existing auditorium be improved?
Yes. We measure the space as it is, then design treatment and system changes that target the specific problems we find.
