Acoustic Design Introduction
• Acoustic design is the use of architectural and engineering techniques to control the behaviour of
sound in an enclosed space.
• The purpose is to improve sound distribution in the enclosed space by enhancing the desired sound
suited for the program.
• Acoustic design also aims to eliminate noise and undesired sound that would negatively affect the
desirability of the sounds.
• For instance, specific measures will be taken to make speech more intelligible or to make music sound
better for the users.
• Building materials, architectural designs and layouts will be taken into consideration while engaging
in acoustic designs.

SITE INFORMATION
• The Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam auditorium
was built in the early 90s and could
accommodate approximately 1600 people.
During the early years, the auditorium was
mainly used for formal events where foreign
diplomats were usually involved hence there
were several translation rooms overlooking the
auditorium from above. The typical programmes
in the auditorium are live singing performances
and occasionally some formal speeches.

INDICATION OF SPEAKERS IN SECTIONS
Distributed speaker system is used to overflow sound to the audience in the auditorium. A distributed
speaker system is effective to majority of the audience to gain adequate sound quality. Besides that,
there are some landed speakers on the stage and floor also contributes to the adequate of sound
quality.

Reverberation Time Calculation SABINE FORMULA : RT = 0.16V / A
Where,
Absorption of surface = Surface area (m2 x Absorption coefficient of surface (500Hz)
RT : Reverberation Time (Sec)

Reverberation Time = 0.16 x Volume of the room / Total absorption

ISSUE AND
RECOMMENDATION
Issues
• One of the concerns that could be seen in MBSA auditorium hall is the
absence of concave surface that has the potential to form
concentra6on of sound waves especially for the back rows. This will Sound Reflection of Auditorium
result in non-uniform distribution of sound waves, causing a different
acoustic experience for the audience.
