TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Acoustic Shell for Symphony Orchestra and Choir
Acoustic Shell proper to large installations, can host large Orchestras with one or two choirs. It is made up of two side walls, one variable height and inclination back wall and a system of upper ceiling panels, suspended from the theatre lattices. The walls are made of well integrated panels, arranged on the stage in variable configurations and styles which optimize both the reflection/propagation of the sound toward the audience and the reciprocal listening among the musicians. Finally, they have two or more double gate doors.
The walls and the ceiling panels are realized with a particular plywood which have known sound reflecting and spreading properties, certified in class 1 for fire resistance.
The single wood panels which make up the walls are fixed to an integrated aluminium support frame which stiffens them and controls the resonances. These are held up by telescopic tie-rods fixed solidly on the stage via a direction guide on the floor and they are connected and integrated between one another by a tried and true theatrical system of ropes for stage scenography.
The single panels which make up the ceiling, which also has an integrated rigid frame, are connected to the "American" girders (or to a special ring) with rapid link adjustable steel cables which hold them in suspension. They are joined together tightly by special PVC profiles.

Acoustic Shell for Chamber Orchestra or Soloist
Acoustic Shell for small/medium installations proper to Chamber Music Orchestras or Soloists. It is made up of side and back walls with projecting points and variable height. The walls are made of integral panels between them, arranged on the stage in variable configurations and styles which optimize both the reflection/propagation of the sound toward the audience and reciprocal listening among the musicians. The walls are realized with a particular plywood with excellent acoustical properties, certified in class 1 for fire resistance.
The wood panels which form the walls are made of two distinct elements: one lower, vertical and one upper, inclined and tilted forward, called jutting. The particular configuration allows excellent acoustic results to be obtained even without having to install upper ceiling panels, which in any case can be provided where necessary. The double height wood panels which form the walls are assemble on a single integrated backstay in aluminium which stiffens them and controls the resonances. They are held up by telescopic tie-rods fixed to the stage.
