Enhance Your Theater's Versatility with Active Acoustics

Unlock the Potential for Every Performance in your theater

Theaters are designed with specific acoustics to suit a variety of performances, but traditional designs often focus on amplified music, resulting in a reverberation time of 0.7 – 0.9 seconds. While this reverberation time works excellently for amplified music and speech, it leaves unamplified music and recitals sounding dry and less immersive. Active acoustics transforms this limitation by allowing theaters to adjust the acoustics dynamically, creating a much more versatile and vibrant space.

With active acoustics, theaters can seamlessly transition between different types of performances, from grand orchestras and operas to intimate recitals and spoken word performances. The system enables a wide range of ambiance presets that adjust the sound environment to suit the unique requirements of each event. This means the theater can sound more lively and immersive for unamplified music, creating the ideal reverberation time for every scenario.

a Multipurpose Venue with Active Acoustics, Immersive Sound, and Spatial Audio

In addition to active acoustics, immersive audio surround capabilities enhance musical performances and special shows. Whether it’s a symphonic concert, live theater production, or cinematic experience, the theater can immerse audiences in a 360-degree audio landscape. By integrating immersive surround sound with active acoustics, the space comes alive with depth, clarity, and precision, elevating the overall experience for every performance.

For even more exceptional performances, spatial audio options take immersive experiences to new heights. By using advanced spatial audio technology, the theater can create incredibly engaging and dynamic sound environments that move with the audience. Whether for a specialized show, a concert, or a unique performance experience, spatial audio allows for a level of immersion that truly captures the audience’s attention, making every moment more captivating and memorable.

What makes active acoustics even more remarkable is how it complements the existing front-of-house sound system. Rather than choosing between the two, active acoustics works in harmony with the sound system to enhance the overall audio experience. Together, they create a space that adapts effortlessly to any performance, ensuring superior sound quality and an enriched experience for both performers and audiences.

By incorporating active acoustics, your theater can cater to a broader range of programming, transforming a specialized performance space into a truly multipurpose venue. Whether for a concert, theater production, or corporate event, active acoustics provides the flexibility to achieve the perfect sound, no matter the performance. With immersive surround and spatial audio, your theater is ready to host cutting-edge shows that transport the audience to another world.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

 

1. Auditoriums

Auditoriums host events ranging from lectures to live performances, each with distinct acoustic requirements. Active acoustics systems provide the flexibility needed to adapt to these varied events seamlessly.

2. Small Venues

Small venues, such as rehearsal spaces and studios, often require precise and adaptable acoustics to meet the needs of performers and producers. Active acoustics systems provide this precision, enabling users to adjust reverberation and ambiance to suit their creative goals.

3. Concert Halls

Concert halls are often celebrated for their acoustic excellence, but not every space is perfect for every type of performance. Active acoustics systems provide the flexibility to optimize acoustics for a variety of genres.

4. Hospitality

Hospitality venues, from fine dining to event spaces, require adaptable acoustics to enhance the guest experience. Active acoustics systems offer the flexibility to create the ideal ambiance for any occasion, ensuring comfort and clarity throughout the space.

5. Places of Worship

Many modern or reconstructed churches suffer from “dry” acoustics, diminishing the beauty of congregational singing and sacred music. Active acoustics systems can restore the reverberation and warmth traditionally associated with these spaces.

6. Outdoor Spaces

Outdoor venues face acoustic challenges like uneven sound coverage and lack of surfaces for reflections, but active acoustics systems enhance projection, balance, and resonance, transforming outdoor events into high-quality auditory experiences.
