Between 1965 and 1980 a room existed in the building of Czech Radio in Pilsen known as the Stereo Auditorium. It was furnished in the so-called Brussels-style and was used by the artistic board of Czechoslovak Radio for listening to, and approving, stereo radio programmes, as well as for testing loudspeakers. While listening, the audience faced a curtain behind which the loudspeakers were located. The curtain was made from pastel-coloured hessian which was sound-permeable, but non-transparent so that the loudspeaker manufacturer remained anonymous. According to eyewitness testimonies, the curtain has not been preserved. The curtain designer is unknown.
