Consulting on Improvements

Sydney Opera House

Hitotsubashi University's Kanematsu Hall

Tokyo Bunka Kaikan

Improvements of the architecture, seats, stage equipment and any other equipment may affect the acoustics of the hall. Therefore, acoustical examination is indispensable in such improvement plans. If the hall has a reputation for its excellent acoustics, the acoustics must not be changed by the enhancements. On the other hand, it is sometimes necessary to improve the acoustics since the acoustical tastes of the audience change with the times. Important points of an improvement plan include having a good grasp of the present condition and carrying out proper adjustments between old and new equipment--which requires a great amount of knowledge based on considerable experience. Nagata Acoustics provides a comprehensive service of research study, planning, necessary on-site inspection during the construction phase, and acoustical measurement.
