•The Majlis Bandaraya Shah
Alam auditorium was built in
the early 90s and could
accommodate approximately
1600 people.

• During the early years, the

auditorium was mainly used for
formal events where foreign
diplomats were usually involved
hence there were several
translation rooms overlooking
the auditorium from above.
• The typical programmes in the
auditorium are live singing
performances and occasionally
some formal speeches.

 WALL
• The walls of the auditorium are generally
covered with sound absorbent materials
like compressed fibreboard or draperies,
which is to reduce reverberation. These
materials reduce the formation of echoes
by absorbing sound waves.
• The type of material used on the walls in
MBSA Auditorium is sound absorbing
foam. It is layered on with wooden panels
of different widths that act as a diffuser,
which is to match the hjgh and low
frequencies of sound.

CEILING
• The ceil ing ofMBSA has a slanting profile
to reflect the sound. It is suspended plaster,
providing different planes that reflect
varying wavelengths of sound.
• Constructed on metal lath, the ceiling is
plastered thickly to resist panel vibration.
Also with the thick mass of plaster and a
proper suspension system, it will permit the
external noise from being transferred
inside. A high volume of the auditorium
hall is recommended for good acoustic
qualities
