The auditorium is equipped with an L-Acoustics sound system, the world\u2019s number one sound system from France. The stage is installed with sprung flooring, 16 stage rigs and a lighting system designed and installed by top specialists in Thailand, all for perfect performance and theatre play. The auditorium is installed with smoke detectors, a sprinkler system, CCTVs, and access control for the entire auditorium to ensure safety. The AC system is of PM 2.5 filter quality. The materials used in the hall are inflammable and there are 9 enter\/exit doors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Acoustic System<\/strong><br \/>We were honoured to have welcomed Dr Krissada Vivatvakin, Thailand\u2019s leading sounds expert and the Managing Director of Atkrist Co., Ltd., to our Araya Hall for the quality check of the Acoustic sound systems. Three areas were tested as follows: the Acoustics noise criteria (NC), the Acoustic Reverberation Time (RT) and the Acoustic Rapid Speech Transmission Index (RASTI).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acoustic Noise Criteria, NC<\/strong><br \/>The acoustic noise criteria measures the background noise levels when the air conditioning system is turned on. It is important for the background noise levels to be within acceptable limits to ensure optimal communication.<\/p>\n<p>The recommended noise criteria for an auditorium should not exceed NC 35, which the results of the Araya Hall are as follows:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column gdlr-core-column-20\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content-margin gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-column-content clearfix gdlr-core-js \">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-button-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-button gdlr-core-button-gradient gdlr-core-button-no-border\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/facilities-rental\/\" id=\"gdlr-core-button-id-20823\"><span class=\"gdlr-core-content\">FACILITIES RENTAL<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-left-align\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item-content\" style=\"text-transform: none ;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Auditorium Level 1&amp;2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align gdlr-core-item-pdlr\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item-wrap gdlr-core-media-image gdlr-core-image-item-style-rectangle\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-23-at-10.09.27-AM.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-23-at-10.09.27-AM.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"964\" height=\"570\" title=\"Screen Shot 2022-11-23 at 10.09.27 AM\"><span class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay \"><i class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay-icon gdlr-core-size-22 fa fa-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-left-align\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item-content\" style=\"text-transform: none ;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Auditorium Level 3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-center-align gdlr-core-item-pdlr\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-image-item-wrap gdlr-core-media-image gdlr-core-image-item-style-rectangle\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\"><a class=\"gdlr-core-lightgallery gdlr-core-js \" href=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-23-at-10.13.56-AM.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbsbangkok.ac.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2022-11-23-at-10.13.56-AM.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"524\" title=\"Screen Shot 2022-11-23 at 10.13.56 AM\"><span class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay \"><i class=\"gdlr-core-image-overlay-icon gdlr-core-size-22 fa fa-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-pbf-element\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item gdlr-core-item-pdlr gdlr-core-item-pdb gdlr-core-left-align\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-core-text-box-item-content\" style=\"text-transform: none ;\">\n<p>From the measurement results of the Noise Criteria, NC values in the Auditorium are in accordance with standards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acoustics Reverberation Time, RT<\/strong><br \/>The acoustics reverberation time measures the time the sound takes to fade away in a closed space after the source of sound has stopped.
