Acoustics
Acoustics—or the science of sound—refers to the production, transmission and reception of sound. In the planning, designing and building of the Music Center, acoustic considerations were given top priority. Upon completion of the facility, the actual scientific tests and the listening ears concluded that the acoustic results throughout the Music Center had exceeded all expectations, though expectations had been very high.
