The early reflection patterns of recording rooms strongly influence the subjective quality of stereo or multichannel recordings, especially when the microphones are situated at a distance from the source. The present paper investigates possibilities for the balance engineer to optimize the early reflection pattern at the microphone positions in a chamber music hall utilizing a computer based ray tracing model.
