The acoustical treatment started by placing r30 and r32 absorbent material above their ceiling clouds, treating the walls with 2×2 and 2×4 2 inch thick panels, covering the bull nose that circles the room, and finally, covering the perpendicular walls that connected the bull nose to the floor. In all, dB installed 155 acoustical panels.
As important as the acoustical improvements to FBBC were, it was still critical to keep direct sound energy on the listeners’ ears and off the walls and ceiling as much as possible. Danley Sound Labs’ pattern control and efficiency would prove invaluable for meeting that objective. Just three Danley SH-96 loudspeakers provide main coverage, each with a Danley SH-95 for down fill. Three more SH-95s cover the balcony on delay, two Danley SM-80s provide choir fill, and two SH-60s provide mid-stage fill.
