... la recherche de zones où les particularités géométriques du milieu - comme la présence de surfaces courbes ou de coupoles, ou encore l'orientation particulière de certains ensembles de parois - favorisent la formation de concentrations de sons (points focaux), d'ombres acoustiques ou d'écho multiples, tous effets qui sont normalement défavorables à une bonne audition, et qu'il faut donc éviter.
