Conclusions
•The scale model was used mainly for studying the early reflections and for orienting properly the lateral reflectors
•Reverberation time and clarity measured in the model were coincident with the real room only in two octave bands (500 and 1000 Hz)
•The measurements performed in the real hall resulted in acoustical parameters strictly close to the design goal
•The presence of the reflecting panels revealed to be strongly beneficial for the sound field in the stalls, even if they were not optimally oriented
•The effect of seat occupance revealed to be very little, confirming that the chosen seats give an absorption almost independent of the presence of the listener
