Französisch Begriff oder Satz: égrégor
This is from an interview with an acoustical engineer talking about the building of concert halls and acoustics in general.

Le syndrome MP3! Je m'y refuse, et préfère pour ça la salle en arène. Je la recommande aux architectes, pour la fusion qu'elle facilite, l'égrégor.

I can't find a definition for égrégor, although I think it has something to do with being on one's own.

Can anyone help?

Erklärung:
Egregore (also "egregor") is an occult concept representing a "thought form" or "collective group mind", an autonomous psychic entity made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of a group of people. The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a legal entity) and the meme

The word "egregore" (also "grigori") is a transliteration of the Greek word, ἐγρήγοροι (egrḗgoroi), meaning "watchers".

Gaetan Delaforge, in Gnosis (magazine) in 1987, defines an egregore as a kind of group mind which is created when people consciously come together for a common purpose."

Companies, political parties, religions, prayer groups, states, and clubs [and concert audiences, presumably] all can be said to have egregores. A prayer is a positive egregore. When a project "takes on a life of its own," an egregore might be said to be present.

So, if you fear – as I fear you rightly might – that the word "egregor" would be a very great mystery to most readers, you might have to delve into something like "group spirit", "collective spirit", "common interest", "fusion of minds", "collective harmony (of the audience, not the players)", ...

Hinweis von Fragesteller an den Antwortenden
Another difficult one to grade, since all the answers were useful. I must admit Bourth, I don't like the word egregor, which I had never heard of before. I think the majority of readers would not understand it, so collective spirit seems a good alternative. Thanks to everyone.

egregore

Erklärung:
Some sort of power of the collective spirit

Beispielsätze:
  • The fact that many are working together for the same end ensures a tremendous focus of power in a given direction. There develops a group "egregore", or group soul/mind, which unites the members in very subtle and potent ways.

Zustimmung Charles Hawtrey: There's already "fusion" a few words before. Is more needed? It's getting a bit far from the physics and engineering of acoustic design of a concert hall. The risk of the EN/US reader misunderstanding the thing is high, I fear.
