ADA Acoustics & Media Consultants GmbH

After the defeat of the German division, and upon meeting the objective requirements, the engineering firm ADA Acoustic Design Ahnert was initially founded with two colleagues. From day one, the software program EASE, which was at that time still DOS-based, was available. As a result, the feasibility of room- and electro-acoustic designs could be efficiently verified. Large projects during the early 90s, such as the planning of a new sound reinforcement system for the German Opera (Deutsche Oper) in Berlin, supported the start-up phase.


A similar experience was gathered during the reconstruction of the Plenary Assembly of the Parliament in Ankara, where in 1996, for the first time, a fingerprint system for the identification of the Members of Parliament was introduced, which is still in operation in its original form till today. The number of awarded contracts in the country and abroad was then increasing as well as the number of employees. In 2010, the activities profile of the sole-property company ADA Acoustic Design Ahnert was transferred to ADA Acoustics & Media Consultants GmbH. Major tasks are still ahead of our team, such as the extensive Al Maktoum International Airport, which is currently under construction and is intended in its first construction phase to serve around 120 million passengers per year.

Theater Schaubühne at the Lehniner Platz, Germany

Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Germany 2013 - 2014

Room acoustic reconstruction of the halls A and B


Client:
Schaubühne at the Lehniner Platz, Kurfürstendamm 153, 10709 Berlin

ADA Scope of services:
Raumakustik: HOAI Phasen 1 - 5

Project data:

  • Start of planning: 2013
  • Completion: 2014

The Schaubühne at the Lehniner Platz, which houses 3 halls, is located in a building built by Erich Mendelsohn in 1928 at Berlin's Kurfürstendamm. In two of them, in hall A (7,000 m³, 428 seats) and hall B (6,500 m³, 367 seats), poor room acoustics conditions for the predominant use of spoken-word theater were noted, so that a remedy had to be sought. As a first priority, the speech intelligibility in both halls had to be significantly enhanced. Therefore, ADA replaced, after intensive surveys and measurements, the almost complete suspension with Molton and the sound-transparent ceilings  in the spectator area by new sidewalls with secondary structures to generate early reflections into the audience that support effectively the direct sound of the actors on stage. Also, the reverberation times could be increased, so that the rooms now have more suitable acoustic conditions for acting.
