Principe Felipe Congress Hall-Auditorium Official Web Site.

This is the heart of the "Príncipe Felipe" Congress Hall and the home to the large auditorium made up of the Symphonic or Main Hall and the Multi-purpose Hall, designed to work both separately and together to create a single setting with a capacity to seat 2,388 people in blue upholstered seats with visibility from all angles and exceptional acoustics. The panel separating these two halls and their stage is the result of a sophisticated Dutch technique that uses absorbent material, installed in this building for the first time in Spain. The acoustics are the work of the Catalan physician Higini Arau, who has achieved reverberation time of between 2 and 1.87 seconds and a clarity of around 1, leading to a great warmth of sound.
