Abstract

The paper describes Assisted Resonance installations designed to provide variable reverberation time in two different types of situation. The first, in Concord, California, consists of a 3500-seat pavilion with a backstage wall, but with the other sides open. The acoustic consultant has designed this space to provide ideal acoustic conditions for a full range of activity from drama through to symphonic presentations. The second, in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a smaller enclosed space but once again it is designed to accomodate a wide range of presentations. At the time of writing the abstract, the Concord installation is completed and believed to be successful but the Scottsdale installation is still under way and the outcome will not be clear until the paper is presented. The paper does not discuss the overall acoustic design, but is restricted to the role of Assisted Resonance, which deals with only one parameter, and the potential and limitations of the technique will be discussed.
