Abstract: These theater acoustic recommendations are based upon the experience of architects, acoustical and equipment engineers, and studio operating personnel in designing, equipping, and maintaining theaters. They were prepared after conferences and discussions between the Committee and prominent representatives of these various groups. Through such cooperation, it is now possible and practicable to formulate general principles to guide the acoustic design and construction of motion picture theaters. These principles, when applied, will improve sound reproduction and minimize or eliminate costly alterations in the completed auditorium.
