Outcomes
The approach proved successful. The first commissioning measurements in the room demonstrated compliance with the design objectives. The measured reverberation time was below 1.0s at mid frequencies and below 1.2s at 125-250Hz. With a background noise level measured below NR25, no further interventions were required.
The acoustics of the Grand Theatre was completed and commissioned successfully. In late 2017, the theatre was evaluated by an expert panel formed by dozens of people and received very favourable feedback, including the quote below.
