Traditionally, venues have been designed to have acoustics optimised for specific uses: theatres are designed for plays, concert halls for music, lecture halls for speech, cinemas for film surround sound. To use one of these venues for an application with different acoustical needs meant either putting architectural solutions in place or compromising a performance with inappropriate acoustics. But variable architectural solutions can be very expensive and have a limited range of effectivene
