ABSTRACT
The Stage, a small concert hall at CCRMA, Stanford University,
was designed as a multi-purpose space when The Knoll, the building
that houses CCRMA, was renovated in 2003/5. It is used for
concerts, installations, classes and lectures, and as such it needs to
be always available and accessible. Its support for sound diffusion
evolved from an original array of 8 speakers in 2005, to 16 speakers
in a 3D configuration in 2011, with several changes in speaker
placement over the years that optimized the ability to diffuse pieces
in full 3D surround. This paper describes the evolution of the design
and a significant upgrade in 2017 that made it capable of rendering
HOA (High Order Ambisonics) of up to 5th or 6th order, without
changing the ease of operation of the existing design for classes and
lectures, and making it easy for composers and concert presenters to
work with both the HOA and legacy 16 channel systems.
1. INTRODUCTION
We have been hosting concerts at CCRMA since it was created in the
70’s. In 2009 we started expanding our concert diffusion capabilities
while gearing up for the inaugural season of a new concert hall being
built at Stanford, the Bing Concert Hall. In 2013 we were able to
use our newly created GRAIL system (the Giant Radial Array for
Immersive Listening) to diffuse concerts with out own “portable”
speaker array with up to 24 speakers and 8 subwoofers arranged in a
dome configuration for full 3D surround sound diffusion .

7. CONCLUSIONS
The opening concerts of the newly upgraded Stage took place in October
4/5 2017, and the system performed very well (at the time we
were still using the old subwoofers). Another round of upgrades in
2018 replaced the original subwoofers with newer ones, as outlined
above, and also upgraded the main 8 speakers with newer A77X
Adam monitors. The lower layer of speakers were repositioned at
the bottom of the main towers, and the new subwoofers were stacked
immediately above them (originally they had been reversed). A second
round of successful concerts (our annual Transitions concerts)
took place in October 2018 with the fully upgraded array. The full
array has seen more use in the past year, with several concerts using
it instead of what would have been stereo or quad diffusion.
We have outlined the design process of a complex Linux-based
diffusion system, using off-the-shelf components and GNU/Linux
for all the software components.
