acoustics

The acoustics shine in what had come to be known as Copley Symphony Hall, now named Jacobs Music Center.

Buried in a bland mixed-use skyscraper in the dreary Financial District downtown, an aging, if glamorous, 1929 movie palace with rotten acoustics long served as the San Diego Symphony’s disagreeable home.

The science, as well as the art, of acoustics has advanced.

It was a test of not only the orchestra but also the acoustics.

Audience members had long complained about lousy acoustics under the balcony overhang and bad views from many seats, especially at the top.
