Grand Island HS

Grand Island High School

 

Auditorium of Grand Island NY High School

Grand Island High School had an acoustics problem. Their auditorium suffered with multiple echoes being caused by room geometry. The space also had a frequency imbalance in the 1kHZ- 4 kHz region that was being caused by metal ceiling panels that were undamped. This resulted in a metallic “ring” that almost sounded like electronic feedback.

AVL Designs Inc. proposed a solution that used parametric room tuning. Multiple absorptive panel types have been located strategically on the side walls.  Each panel type affects different frequencies.  The ceiling panels have been damped with a sheet damping material applied to the back of each panel.

The architects came up with a color pallet based on our layout. The final result is aesthetically pleasing and performs well acoustically. The music department will be excited to use it this fall.

Upcoming => Liverpool High School in Syracuse, New York will be AVL Designs Inc.’s first application of Yamaha’s AFC4 electronic acoustic immersive audio system.

As in previous versions, the AFC4 gives the ability to change the apparent room acoustics to simulate a multitude of rooms, such as an opera hall, though in actuality you are in a much smaller room.  

The design project will include their auditorium plus their orchestra / choral & band rehearsal rooms.
