Thank you to Yamaha for inviting Hanson Associates to take part in their AFC Active Acoustics Event at the stunning new Eva and Marc Besen Centre Auditorium, Tarra Warra Museum of Art.

Our own Mark Thompson shared a fascinating perspective on the history of active acoustic enhancement systems (AAES) — and highlighted the crucial role of the acoustic consultant, from defining client needs at early project conception to working side by side with performers during system commissioning.

The day concluded with a rare critical listening opportunity as the auditorium’s acoustic signature was subtly adjusted in real time during a live quartet performance – a compelling demonstration of the impact AAES can have for both audiences and performers.

A great day of learning, collaboration and networking…
