what would happen if vocal waves were directed at a bullet shaped wall. If you cant imagine that then think a top view of vocals aimed down at the letter U but maybe a little pointier.
A concave surface like that is a terrible acoustic feature because it focuses sound entering from all directions back to a single point. It would make your vocals sound like a filtered, resonant mess. Definitely avoid this design.
well what would happen if you put the mic in the part that it would focus and stand 5 feet away and vocal into it?
I'm not sure, but if you want to try it and post the results that would be great!
