Abstract
Since its opening in 1951, London’s Royal Festival Hall has been plagued with a number of acoustic shortcomings. Specifically, the hall suffers from a short reverberation time despite its size, a relatively weak bass response, a sense of acoustic ‘‘detachment’’ for listeners in the under- balcony, and difficult playing conditions on stage. Plans for a major renovation of the hall are currently being prepared for submission to the National Lottery. The authors will discuss the potential remedies for the issues noted above, with particular attention paid to implementation and measurement in a 1:20 scale model.
