Convention Paper

An Electro-Acoustical Concept for Symphonical Music Outdoors

Authors: Heringa, P. H.

AES Convention 90 · Paper 3016 · February 1991

Abstract

The concept is based on the recreation of the sound in a classical shoebox size concert hall. Therefore the audience surface is divided in the dimensions of such a hall. Per hall the direct sound (for good localisation and definition) and reverberant sound (for the acoustical ambiance) of a shoeboxhall is recreated by central clusters and lines of loudspeakers on the virtual walls. Experience with the concept for a 70,000 p audience will be reported.
