In dealing with acoustics, we are concerned with three main aspects of sound. Firstly, the sound source voice, instrument, loudspeaker, etc. Secondly, the transmission of sound through air and thirdly, the result produced by sound waves when they hit a surface. The listener is, in general, affected by all three. When we take up design or consultancy work for any venue, we take all these elements into serious consideration. We work to optimize the features of a venue for performer and audience alike. Be the requirements natural amplification for drama and theater or the integration of a PA sound system for music, film or conferences, our input drastically improves the transmission of sound in order to render a smooth and outstanding experience.
These contrasting characteristics pose a real challenge to the designer, which is why it is critical to design accurately to achieve a distinctive result with minimum concession. On the other hand, there are multipurpose facilities that need to cover a variety of uses, concerts, theater, dance, films, lectures, conferences and so on. It is possible to make multipurpose venues sound good through early planning, the right study, treatment and a little compromise. In order to achieve the best results, it is necessary for a new auditorium to take acoustical considerations in the early phase. These parameters include room shape which will determine the venue's unique sound signature.
Sound amplification systems should be considered together with room acoustics at the outset of a project. Like art, our advice to clients on theater acoustics is influenced as much by history as it is by technology.
Simulations are cost-effective and reduce the likelihood of embarrassing mistakes with later costly rectifications. Early planning together with the integration of a totally matching sound system achieves successful results. A good listening environment enhances a performer’s freedom of expression and intimacy with the audience. A venue with fantastic sound proudly attracts artists and spectators alike to enjoy the wealth of wonderful design. |
