K1 - Flexible Acoustics in Multi-Purpose Venues (By the Use of Fabrics and Membrane Absorbers) [Gerriets GmbH]
Presenter:Jonas Schira, Gerriets
Abstract:
The acoustics requirements for theaters, opera houses, multipurpose halls, or community centers have changed dramatically over the recent years. A few years ago it was still acceptable to only reduce the overall reverberation time to meet the performance requirements, but today the acoustics of a venue need a more specific scope of requirements unique to the space. Using fabrics and inflatable membrane absorbers can be an efficient solution for flexible and adjustable room acoustics in all frequency bands.
