The Acoustic Lab

Keeping Noise Out

Soundproofing focuses on preventing sound from entering or leaving a space. This involves creating barriers using dense materials, decoupling structures, and sealing gaps.

Making Sound Better

Acoustic treatment improves how sound behaves within a room. It addresses reflections, reverberation, and frequency response for accurate audio reproduction.

Hard Surfaces

Hard, smooth surfaces like concrete, glass, and drywall reflect sound waves. These reflections create echoes, standing waves, and frequency buildup that affect audio quality.

Soft Surfaces

Porous materials like acoustic foam, heavy fabrics, and specialized panels absorb sound energy. Diffusion panels scatter sound waves, creating a balanced acoustic environment.

Understanding Modes

Every room has natural resonant frequencies based on its dimensions. These room modes can cause certain frequencies to be amplified or canceled, affecting sound quality.

Measurement

We measure the room's acoustic characteristics using specialized equipment. This data guides our treatment strategy, ensuring we address specific issues effectively.

Home Cinema

For home theaters, we combine soundproofing to prevent noise leakage with acoustic treatment to optimize audio playback for an immersive experience.

Listening Spaces

In recording or critical listening environments, acoustic treatment creates neutral spaces where you hear exactly what's being recorded or played.
