KLPACA is a non-profit performing arts center established in 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was established after a 2003 flash flood damaged the previous performing arts space. The site was selected due to its long history in Malaysia's performing arts community. KLPACA consists of 4 main spaces - a 504 seat theater, a 190 seat black box theater, a 100 seat flexible space, and 9 studios. The acoustic design of the main theater uses various sound diffusion, absorption, and reflection techniques to evenly disperse sound through the space.

- 3. In 1995, the idea was established by Faridah Merican and Joe Hasham. In 2003, flash flood occurred in Kuala Lumpur and they needed a new home. After the incident, KLPAC was established. Working together, KLPAC, a non-profit organisation opened in 2005.
- 4. Site selection reasons The site has an impressive long history and a possibly being the heart of the Malaysia’s performing arts community. • KLPAC consists 4 types of rooms: Pentas 1 - Consist of 504-seat consist of the best sound system, materials and acoustic absorption. Pentas 2 - Consist of 190-seats experimental an experimental black box theatre that allows modularity. Indicine - 100-seats flexing space. Studios - 9 studios which allows for various uses.

- 9. Wall Material (diffusion) By installing PVC tubes and wooden blocks on the side of the walls, it acts as a sound diffuser because of its uneven surfaces deflects the sound energy evenly in the auditorium. Stage Floor Material Epoxy concrete coating floor for easy cleaning Requires the best in durability, impact and abrasion resistance. Auditorium Floor Used woolen carpet and black finishes good for absorption of light. Flame resistant. Wall (reflector) Concrete wall is a hard and flat surface resulting in reflecting the sound energy. Ceiling Material (reflector) Acoustic cloud panels reflect the sound waves so that they will reach on all levels of the room. A C O U S T I C D E S I G N
- 10. S O U N D D I F F U S I O N Uneven surfaces of the walls allows sound energy to be reflected in different angles, thus dispersing them to all over the auditorium. Reduces the destructive effects (i.e: comb filtering, flutter echoes and standing waves.)
- 11. S O U N D A B S O R P T I O N Soft, porous materials such as acoustic panels, foam chairs and woolen carpets are used to absorb sound energy resulting in lesser reverberation time.
- 12. S O U N D R E F L E C T I O N The reflection of sound follows the law "angle of incidence equals angle of reflection", sometimes called the law of reflection. The same behavior is observed with light and other waves, and by the bounce of a billiard ball off the bank of a table. Hard surfaces such as concrete walls, floorings and cloud acoustic panels are used to reflect direct sound thus dispersing the sound equally in the auditorium.
