Case B. Single source (#2) located at the back of the second violin section; Listener #1 on the right side of the hall half-way back; Listener #2 near the left rear corner.
Figure 1. Parametric view of hall and stage; red “2” is the sound source (back of the 2nd violin section). Listeners #1, “2”, and #3 are shown in blue.
Figure 2. Plan view
of hall and stage; red “2” is the sound source
(back of the 2nd violin section).
Listeners #1, “2”, and #3 are shown in blue.
Figure 3. Early Decay Time (EDT)throughout the hall for source “2” at the rear of the second violin section. Typical Decay times of 1.5 to 2.25 seconds are considered very good.
Figure 4. Clarity throughout the hall for a source “2”. All but the far left side of the hall is acceptible. For over one-half of the entire hall there is a dramatic improvement over the same case run for the hall in its October 2000 configuration.
Listener #1 (Left Side of Hall)
Figure 5a. Reflectogram Figure 5b. Sound Rose
This result is similar to a seat near the center of the hall in its Oct 2000 configuration.
Listener #2 (Left Side, Rear of the Hall)
Figure 6a. Reflectogram (no direct sound; delay ~0.15sec) Figure 6b. Sound Rose
This result is similar to the same case run for the hall in
its October 2000 configuration.
