Our Scope

Marshall Day Acoustics was involved in all aspects of room acoustics, sound insulation and noise control for mechanical services.

Internal acoustic treatment ensures that a wide range of events can occur in the bowl whilst still maintaining a good acoustic environment for the audience.


CHALLENGES

The sound insulation design was particularly challenging with apartments located 60 metres from the Arena. The solution involved an innovative 'cassette/panel system' that could be assembled on the ground and craned into place to form the building envelope and internal treatment.
