Seremban has a new Art & Cultural Hall opened last year, and it available to be rented out to the public for art and culture purposes. I went over there to check out the place for an piano recital event on July 3rd 2011.

| The new hall with a Minangkabau roof design. The colour combined with its pointy roof resembles a Thai Buddhist Temple when viewed from far. |
The hall has the capacity of 500 pax including a vip corner right at the center of the seating hall. The lights and the hall acoustic are pretty ok for dramas, dance and even a pop concert. The hall sounded rather dull for a classical event due to the rather short hall reverberation.
Seats are pretty comfortable and the walking path are pretty spacious. No more tumbling over other people's legs when you need to go to the washroom.

The main sound reinforcement systems are powered by RCF speakers in Left Right Center configuration with the dual subwoofers on the extreme left and right. I have not heard the system yet but looking at the subs placement I doubt it would be good. It would be tough to get a nice low end distributed evenly with the subs position.

The position of the PA room is a nightmare to all audio engineers. You can't hear what's happening outside. You have to rely on a miserable small monitor placed on top of the A&H mixer.
Having said tough, its rather nice to have a hall that the public can rent and be creative. One note tough, being a government owned hall means that all government functions takes precedence in this place and your planned event can be cancelled should the former needs the hall for some meetings.
