Abstract

An electronic enhancement system and new orchestra shell have been designed for and installed in Silva Concert Hall, a 2500-seat multipurpose hall at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts in Eugene, Oregon. The enhancement system provided by Acoustic Control Systems B.V. features early reflection and reverberation modules in the house and a foldback system for performers on stage. The design considerations, interaction with the new shell, tuning, and in-hall measurements of the system are discussed, including reactions by musicians, administrators, and critical listeners.
