Daegu Concert House Grand Hall seat view and sound experience
Sound experience
About the sound
Strings, woodwinds and brass together · Direction and distance change with your seat.
Direct sound is combined with early reflections and reverberation. Their proportions change with the seat. This is a synthesis based on assumptions, not a recording of the actual hall.
Acoustic sources and model scope
Ensemble listening estimates direct sound from five equally loud representative instruments plus early and late reflected energy. It does not trace individual wall reflections or measure sound on site. Playback uses the same energy model, but the samples' instrumentation and volume differ from the equal-strength scoring assumption. Changing a sample does not change the recommendation criteria.
- Reverberation time used
- 2.0s Shared assumption without venue measurements
- Room volume used
- 17,108m³ Estimated from the 3D enclosure · Actual volume unconfirmed
We also check score variation under nine assumptions: reverberation time ±0.4 seconds and volume ±20%. Balcony obstruction, reflector placement, and instrument directivity are not included. Scores cannot rank sound quality across venues.
Acoustic method and limitationsModel calculations from the selected seat to the reference point. A larger angular size means the person appears larger.
A/B score comparison
- Estimated acoustics · Ensemble listening
- 100pts
- View · Balanced
- 78pts
Lowest component: Instrument delivery balance, 99 pts. Weaker components influence the combined score; scenarios range from 98 to 100 pts.
Scores rise when all three criteria are met together. Weights indicate importance; weaker components have more influence on the combined score.
Ensemble estimate: 98–100 pts
These are nine calculations with different assumed reverberation times and room volumes. Actual quality is not guaranteed to fall within this range, and a few points do not establish which seat is better.
- Clarity–reverberation ratio (C80)
- -0.3 dB
- Sound strength (G)
- 4.4 dB
These values come from a statistical model, not measurements. C80 is assessed against a chosen balance range rather than rewarding higher values; G is assessed for sufficient strength. View calculation criteria

Ensemble listening uses assumed direct sound, early reflections, and late reverberation. Direct-sound preference is distance-based; view scores use distance, overview, and alignment. Reflectors, balcony obstruction, and instrument directivity are not modeled, so rear-seat acoustics may also be overestimated. How to read the scores
Comparing seats at Daegu Concert House Grand Hall
Compare stage views and strings, bass or full orchestra sound in A/B. Ensemble listening scores are acoustic model estimates, not on-site measurements. Rows and numbers follow the official seating plan. 3F BL5 and BL6 carry seat numbers only; most 2F BL3/BL4 positions and the side-balcony heights are estimates.
How this experience was built
What sources confirm — We read all 1,270 seat cells drawn on Daegu Concert House’s official seating plan (vector) and assigned rows and numbers for 1F A, B, C, BL1 and BL2, 2F D, E, F, BL3 and BL4, 3F BL5 and BL6, and choir blocks G–K; with 14 wheelchair spaces this matches the official 1,284. Positions come from the chair blocks in the DWG drawings the operator publishes as stage technical data (Grand Hall floor plan and stage machinery plan). The floor level of every 1F row (+3,300 to +5,900 mm) is read from the level marks on the floor plan, and the step heights of choir blocks I, J and H and of 2F D, E and F from the finish lines of the long section in the lighting DWG. The three drawings are aligned on the structural column grid, and the stage floor is 0.9 m above 1F row 1.
What remains estimated — The DWG files are design-stage drawings (their own total reads 1,333 seats), so in rows whose seat count differs from the current plan (even rows of 1F B and 2F E, some rows of A, C, D and F, and row 4 of choir blocks J and H) the official number of seats is laid along the drawing’s row line and chair spacing. Seats 1–38 of row 1 in the 2F side balconies (BL3, BL4) are hidden under the 3F balconies in the drawing, so they are estimated along the same wall line below; the position of row 3 in choir blocks G and K, the front ends of the rows beside the stage, the heights of the side balconies and of G and K, and which of the two BL1/BL2 rows sits on which level mark are also estimates. The operator does not publish a reverberation time. Walls, ceiling and railings are approximations, and the musicians are an example ensemble on stage.
Views are calculated using a 1.75 m figure, your chosen eye height and seat coordinates. Actual obstructions from people, railings or equipment and show-specific layouts may not be represented. Orchestral sound combines direction, distance and assumed early reflections and reverberation. It does not use responses measured in the actual hall. Scores indicate preference fit; actual obstructions, sound quality and price are not yet included.
Orchestral audio: original samples made from VSCO 2 CE recordings (Versilian Studios, CC0). Band and game sounds are synthesized. Crowd audio uses Sandermotions’ CC0 recordings, not recordings from this venue.
