Primarily for audience -- either canned
orchestra or FX speakers. This is for all productions going forward, so the theme and set design will change significantly from show to show ... I'm just interested to find out what materials and techniques work best so we can
stock up on them in anticpation of building sets for the future shows.
My
current thought is to use a
muslin or
gauze type fabric, but I'm concerned about painting over it and closing the pores in the fabric. So if there is a good fabric/paint choice that can be used, or a metal mesh grating that can be painted over but still let good sound through, that would be my preference.
I will also look at fly-mounting
orchestra speakers in the rear of the
stage, in which case I want to hide them behind an
apron of fabric. What material should I use for the
apron?
Thanks. John
