The document discusses some of the sound production challenges that come with stadium-style seating in cinemas and auditoriums. These challenges include: finding an even sound pressure level throughout the auditorium due to the perpendicular layout of stadium seating; surround speakers being too loud for the back rows due to their close proximity; main speakers needing higher dispersion to reach all attendees; and a potential lack of enough subwoofers for the size of the auditorium, which can cause expensive drivers to blow during loud soundtracks if the proper number is not used.
