CLASSICAL

Hall

This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats
in
Munich, using stylish
wood for the interior finishing as normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful
reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The listener's virtual seat
is
at the
center left of the arena.
This
is
an
approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that is
traditional
in
Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all
around the audience, producing a very full, rich sound.
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like
an
audience hall
in
a palace. It
offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.
