| Challenged by the limitations of a Bayreuth style orchestra pit and the retrofit of an existing hall, consultant Todd Berling of Artspace Consulting utilized RPG®’s standard QRD® 734, Omniffusor™ and custom plexiglass ceiling clouds to provide proper sound distribution throughout the hall and orchestra pit, as well as support intercommunication between musicians. Berling indicated that, “RPG® Diffusor Systems were essential to the successful completion of the project.” |

Ashok Bhavnani, of Bhavnani & King Architects, New York City,
employed wall mounted QRD®’s and ceiling Omniffusors™
in the Beyreuth Pit Design. On stage, wood QRD®s are incorporated
in the design of the orchestra shell and custom designed clear
acrylic diffusors are suspended above the stage. Mr. Bhavnani
felt that, “The patterns and finishes of the various diffusor
units fulfill acoustic needs and provide visual scale and texture
as well.”
Rutgers
University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts sought to create
an orchestra pit and improve the acoustics of the 800 seat Nicholas
Music Center, the University’s principal Opera and concert
hall. Dean Marilyn F. Somville said, “RPG® Diffusors
are an integral part of both components of the completed project
and significantly enhance musical performances.”
