In Concert Halls, music or other sounds are produced on the stage and must be carried through the air to people in the crowd. Some of these sound waves go directly to the people in the crowd, without bouncing off of anything first. However, other sound waves from the stage first go to areas like walls and ceilings, then the sound either bounces off or is absorbed. When sound waves bounce off of a surface, the new direction they travel is related to the angle they strike the surface.

Thus, acoustical engineers and architects sometimes need to place panels on the ceilings (and/or walls) to reflect sound in a specific direction - back to the audience.

using panels that are curved have a similar effect.
