A New Approach to Venue Acoustics

Constellation electroacoustic architecture was designed to bring the acoustics of the world’s finest concert halls and performance spaces to a wide range of venues at a fraction of the cost of physical modifications. Constellation combines advanced digital and transducer technologies with decades of research into the attributes that make for exceptional listening spaces to create a system that provides natural-sounding variable acoustics. Now venues can provide every performance with appropriate acoustics that satisfy the most discriminating audiences and performers alike.

Constellation represents a true breakthrough in venue acoustics that solves a major challenge performance spaces have faced for years. In the past, venues were built to have the proper acoustics for their intended use: theatres were designed for plays, concert halls for music, lecture halls for speech, cinemas for film surround sound. But today’s venues need to be multipurpose, and the acoustics that sound best for one kind of performance are not necessarily ideal for all kinds.

This hurdle has often led to compromise in a venue’s acoustics, including the use of expensive and awkward architectural modifications, such as orchestra shells and secondary chambers, to vary their acoustics.

Constellation is a complete solution that lets venues alter their acoustics instantly while remaining virtually invisible to the eye. Constellation provides both audience and performers with the optimum acoustical characteristics for a lecture, theatrical production, music concert, or other event. For the audience, a music concert in a multipurpose venue can have all of the warmth and resonance of a concert hall, while a play in the same space exhibits increased intelligibility.

Musicians hear themselves better, creating an onstage acoustical experience conducive to ensemble musicmaking. With this enhanced acoustic capability, a venue can fill its calendar with a diverse and busy schedule of events and performances of all kinds. Constellation is scalable as well as flexible, making it suitable for venues of any size and type.
