AVL was tasked with providing a recital hall with excellent acoustical qualities within an existing building that posed significant challenges. The space chosen was height-limited and too long for its width and height. The intent was to provide a similar listener experience for all seats, and a sense of warmth and envelopment of sound that is usually found in much larger spaces. The decision was made early in the project to incorporate physical acoustics as well as electronic acoustical enhancement. The physical acoustics were designed as highly diffuse to prevent energy buildup within the narrow confines of the space. A custom designed 3D moveable diffusive absorptive wall at the back of the stage covers the entrance to the green room. The electronic systems are used to add extension to the reverberation time and frequency range that would no be possible physically. The electronic system specified was Yamahas AFC 3. The electronic system also offered an added capability – extensive surround sound capabilities for electronic music. With a matrix of 52 speakers as well as subwoofers, located on the sides and overhead, the system allows panning and movement of sound within the matrix. Dante network control allows access for electronic musical programming across all speakers. The spaces is also used for distance learning masters classes and is equipped with a video conferencing matrix capable of connection many remote sites simultaneously with high speed low latency access. A connected recording Studio allows events in the Ciminelli Hall and the larger performing arts center within Rockwell Hall to be recorded.
