End-on Proscenium Theatre
On-stage loudspeakers are targeted downwards to provide monitoring for singers as well as into
the auditorium to provide time corrected amplified first wave front support of the acoustic output
from the mouths of the singers. Auditorium speaker placements are chosen to amplify on-stage
action with speakers pointing at the audience at such an angle so as to reinforce acoustic energy
and wave-front direction from the stage from the minimum possible angle of deviation from the
acoustic source as is possible within the constraints of scenic design and sight lines.
