There are three types of speakers used in the auditorium and all of them
are under a same brand, L-Acoustics.

materials and properties
The materials can be divided into absorbent or reflector, depending on
their Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating, where the most
reflective is 0 and most absorbent is 1. Designers have to balance their
choice of materials to achieve the desired level of reverberation time.

carpet flooring
Thick carpeted flooring contributes to sound absorption. Carpet is an
outstanding sound absorber which serves as an acoustical aid, as well as
a floor cover.

wall panel
The walls of the auditorium feature a concave shape- a form that is
advantageous when used in the context of our building. Concave
surfaces have the tendency to reflect and concentrate sound waves to
the centre of its projection.
The measurement of the Sound Intensity Level (SIL) from the sound
source, shows that a distinct sound concentration zone can be found
at the centre-back of the auditorium.

sound concentration
Despite the (inefficient) coverage of acoustic paneling on virtually every
wall surface in the auditorium. The curvilinear form of the auditorium still
has a detrimental acoustic quality that creates auditory foci within,
amplifying sound in specific areas.
sound reflection
In order to make the use of sound more efficient, it is necessary for the
sound to be reflected back towards the audience. Reflections must be
carefully controlled to minimize the creation of echoes.
