dBA/Geerdes of Fort Wayne, IN, stated, “Due to budget constraints,
whenever you incorporate an auxiliary gymnasium with the functionality
of an auditorium, the resulting Gymatorium places severe limitations
on the acoustical parameters. Along with economic factors, durability,
construction methods, materials, and aesthetics become of prime
importance. DiffusorBlox® satisfied these concerns along with
controlling deleterious reflections, echoes, and lateral diffusion
while maintaining proper acoustical balance and support for both
speech and live music presentation.” |

the qualities of sound control, impact resistance, and pleasant
aesthetics, DiffusorBlox® permit efficient use of the space
for both athletic events and stage productions, allowing full utilization
of the stage and sound systems in this 120,000 square foot facility.”

Porter Township High School Principal James Conway commented, “The
school and community are very fortunate to have a high tech acoustical
facility that will greatly enhance student and community performances.
Currently a 100 year old community opera theater group is excitedly
looking forward to not only performing in our facility, but also
sharing their expertise with our student performers. This cooperative
adventure is welcomed by the community and student population. The
use of RPG®’s DiffusorBlox® has allowed a small rural
school corporation to participate in many areas of interest.”
