The additional layer of acoustic tiles that were added during the 2006 sound system upgrade can clearly be seen here on top of the what were the existing tiles. (At this position, the added tiles stop short of the ceiling.)

The “bump” tiles are obviously recessed; compare to how the auditorium looked in 1986.

I can’t help but wonder if there weren’t another set of tiles added in the 1988/9 refurb, too. Certainly one article said that a “whole replastering process took place” but it didn’t say what that meant or if it was simply was a reference to the existing tiles being painted.
