Small room acoustics often pose a greater challenge to the acoustical consultant than larger spaces. The music practice room is a good example of this difficulty, because this type of space must be able to accommodate a wide range of instruments and musical styles.

Ideally, these rooms would provide similar acoustics to those encountered on stage when the musician is playing along with the ensemble. Due to budget constraints, these rooms often do not receive the same level of treatment as the larger performance and rehearsal spaces. This is problematic in that the majority of time that a musician spends rehearsing his music is spent in these spaces.

The drawings represent one way to help simulate the acoustical environment that a performer might experience during a live performance. QRD® Formedffusors are used on the rear and two side walls surrounding the musician. Since the reflective boundaries are typically located a greater distance from the performer while on stage, the QRD®s help establish a more diffuse sound field that would be experienced by the musician during a live performance. FRG Omniffusors™ on the ceiling above also lend to the psychoacoustic impression of performing in a larger space. An absorptive front wall simulates the effect that one would experience when playing into a larger volume space, much like a performer on stage playing into the audience chamber.
