How Concertino Works
Concertino changes the acoustics of a room by electronically altering the time and frequency characteristics of each and every sound in that space. First, sounds of the performers and the audience are captured by eight or more small microphones (in most cases, flush-mounted in the upper surfaces of the room).
The captured sounds then travel through a preamplifier to the proprietary Concertino Processing System (CPS), a computer powered by cutting-edge digital signal processing technology and acoustic algorithms. The CPS alters the sounds it receives to add the appropriate amount of early reflections (for presence, clarity and on-stage hearing) and reverberation (for spaciousness and envelopment) to accurately model the concert space that we are replicating.
Finally, the CPS sends the enhanced sounds back into the listening space through a network of more than a dozen speakers and other sound devices concealed in the walls and ceiling and/or cleverly hidden within the room.s design.
The result is the feeling of a smooth, continuous sound field all around that blends in real-time with the sounds heard directly from the performers.
Hundreds of different configurations (i.e., simulated halls) can be saved as presets for easy recall by a remote control system so that no matter what genre or tempo of music is played, there will always be the perfect acoustic environment in which to play.
