The Cedarburg Performing Arts Center seats approximately 600
on one level, with a fully rigged stage house and an orchestra shell.
It serves as a multipurpose high school auditorium, a home for community
theater groups, and avenue for touring productions. Unlike many facilities
of this size, Cedarburg PAC has an experienced professional management
and technical staff. It was essential to provide an acoustical environment
which would meet their expectations, and DiffusorBlox® are a
very important element of the solution. The hall has no discreet echoes.
Speech intelligibility both reinforced and unreinforced
is very good. The excellent sound diffusion in the room helps create
a delightful musical listening environment. Once again, DiffusorBlox®
have proven to be a cost-effective means for enhancing auditorium
acoustics.

The goal of this project was to design a technically advanced
facility that would serve the school districts needs for performing
arts education as well as the broader community needs for a professional
performing arts facility. The theater has superb acoustics and excellent
sightlines. Early studies using computer generated models were performed
to assure completely unobstructed views from every seat. Similar
studies were done with acoustic models to maximize the acoustic
quality: the shape of the house was modified during design, as this
information became available. The side walls of the main house are
lined with DiffusorBlox®: concrete masonry units specifically
designed to diffuse sound energy, a critical component of the excellent
acoustics.

The Cedarburg Performing Arts Center offers a superb acoustical
environment due in large part to the DiffusorBlox® that have

to come about the quality of the listening environment. Thank you!
