Descriptions
Hall in Munich
This sound field simulates a concert hall with approximately 2500 seats in Munich, using stylish
wood for the interior finishing as normal standards for European concert halls. Fine, beautiful
reverberations spread richly, creating a calming atmosphere. The listener’s virtual seat is at the
center left of the arena.
Hall in Vienna
This is an approximately 1700-seated, middle-sized concert hall with a shoebox shape that is
traditional in Vienna. Pillars and ornate carvings create extremely complex reflections from all
around the audience, producing a very full, rich sound.
Chamber
This program creates a relatively wide space with a high ceiling like an audience hall in a palace. It
offers pleasant reverberations that are suitable for courtly music and chamber music.
