Abstract

‘Hjertnes’ is a typical multi-purpose hall primarily intended for concerts. A three-dimensional ray tracing computer program was used to provide a picture of the sound energy distribution on the audience area of the hall, various room shapes being investigated. This resulted in tilted side walls and a convex ceiling. Variable acoustics have been obtained through the use of movable ceiling absorbing and diffusing elements. In addition, a demountable orchestra enclosure has been constructed within the stagehouse. Control measurements of pulse response and reverberation time are reported.
