Solution

Curved reflective surfaces help distribute reflected sound more evenly throughout the hall. Concave surfaces can focus sound toward distant seats, while convex surfaces scatter sound to reduce echoes and dead spots. Flat surfaces reflect sound in one direction and often produce flutter echoes or uneven loudness. Curved ceilings and walls therefore improve clarity, speech intelligibility, and balanced sound for the audience.
