Effectiveness of acoustic banners depending on their arrangement in the concert hall - case study

One of the most frequently used methods of adjusting the room acoustics of concert halls is the temporary introduction of additional acoustic absorption in the form of acoustic banners. Banners are implemented in the form of fabric surfaces placed vertically or horizontally along the walls of concert halls. In practice, one or two layers of heavyweight fabrics are used, characterized by a high value of the sound absorption coefficient. Simplified methods of designing acoustic banners assume estimating the effectiveness of adjusting the reverberation time on the basis of the static theory. The paper presents the results of measuring the effectiveness of acoustic banners carried out in the concert hall. The possibility of tuning the interior acoustics was verified depending on the position of the banner in the room as well as the degree of its opening.
