ABSTRACT:
A performance shell is disclosed which includes a plurality of modular components which may be assembled together to surround a performing entity ranging from a single soloist to a full orchestra. Modular components may be added and subtracted as desired to adapt the size of the shell to the size and type of the performance entity. The structure of the invention includes a plurality of rectangular recesses each one of which is designed to receive an acoustical device such as a reflective device, a diffusive device or an absorbing device. By carefully arranging the locations of these various devices in the shell, the performers will be better able to hear themselves and other musicians resulting in a performance which the audience perceives as louder, being more rhythmically in unison, and containing better loudness balance between sections than would be the case without the features of the shell.
