Abstract This study explored methods to enhance the balance between the orchestra pit's loudness and the singer on stage in a medium-sized multipurpose hall lacking a regular orchestra pit. Computer simulation techniques estimated acoustical parameters. Three approaches were identified for improvement: incorporating sound-absorbing materials, raising the pit rail, and installing ceiling reflectors. The optimal strategy involved adjusting the height, angle, and combination of ceiling reflectors. These methods improved balance and decreased the orchestra pit's volume simultaneously. Notably, installing ceiling reflectors in the orchestra pit had the most significant impact, expanding the area meeting the desired balance criteria. Additionally, placing ceiling reflectors in the center and rear of the orchestra improved the balance for the majority of seats.
