Abstract
Small concert halls, such as those encountered at many music education institutions, are frequently called upon to support a wide range of musical ensembles, including full symphony orchestra, within a volume significantly smaller than in traditional concert halls. On one hand, a degree of early reflection strength and reverberation is needed to support unamplified instruments and musician hearing on stage. On the other hand, constrained cubic volumes, limited audience seating, and sound‐reflective finishes can lead to overloudness in these small halls. This paper will discuss recent listening and measurement experiences in small concert halls as they relate to achieving a suitable balance between reflection strength and loudness control.
