Acoustic Treatments Fix Audio Issues in Spaces Large and Small

You might think that exceptional audio performance, whether in a home theater, auditorium, or even a restaurant, is just a matter of selecting an audio system and speakers. Of course, the selection, design, and installation of the system make a huge difference, but there are some issues even the best equipment can’t solve. 

It’s all about the physics of sound and how sound interacts with the physical environment in which it plays. Sound reflects off walls and ceilings. So, different room layouts, materials, and construction affect the sound quality. The solution is in the careful application of acoustic treatments, which can fix these issues for audio that sounds natural, full, and rich in any space and any seat. 

Let’s explore four ways acoustic treatments can improve audio performance in spaces from residential to commercial settings in Miami, FL. 

The Difference a Professional Design & Installation Makes

More musicians and producers are working from home than ever. If you’re in a similar position, isn’t it time to go beyond DIY while recording, and hire a professional studio designer?

At Frangioni Media, we design and install world-class studios for professional musicians in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and cities around the world. It can be daunting to decide if you’re ready for a professional recording studio setup, but in this article, we’ll share three major benefits of working with a studio installer.

Absorbing & Diffusing for Recording Studio Design

Besides the equipment and instruments used to record a song, the most critical element of a recording studio design is the acoustic treatment. But how do acoustics work, and why does it matter? Some may think putting a little foam on the wall to avoid echo will do the trick. But there’s much more to a perfectly treated studio.

As a high-end recording studio designer and builder based in Naples, FL, and worldwide, we’ll explain why acoustic treatments are necessary and how they will enrich your recording and listening experience.

Why You Need an Acoustic Engineer for Your Studio, Venue, or Business

The acoustics of a room can make or break the experience inside. If you’ve ever been inside a cathedral, you’ve witnessed how crisp the sounds are and how choral voices float through the air yet the initial sound resonates for many seconds.  On the flip side, we’ve all been in restaurants that were so loud that we couldn’t hear what our friends were saying. A space like that could have used the help of an acoustic engineer.

If you’re a musician with a recording studio, or if you’re building a theater or venue, you’ll also need optimal acoustics for musical purposes. As an acoustic engineer based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and beyond, we’ll share what acoustic treatments achieve and how they will improve your establishment’s sound. Learn more below!

Your Comprehensive Guide to Soundproofing 

You never realize how noisy the world is until you start recording music. Suddenly, little buzzes and noises from outside clank and clatter in your audio recordings. The hums from appliances and technology, cars outside, pipes gurgling, footsteps in the hallway—they all are magnified when heard through a quality condenser microphone.

So, if you’re building a high-end studio, soundproofing is one of the first things you’ll need to do.

How Acoustic Treatments Will Reduce Echo and Reverb in Your Space

Have you ever been in a restaurant, trying to listen to your companion tell a story across from you, but were unable to make out a single word? The clatter of plates and lively conversations throughout the restaurant drowned out your friend’s words, leaving you both a little frustrated.

Whichever restaurant that was, they could have used the help of an acoustic consultant. We often take acoustics for granted, but all public spaces require special attention to sound just right. If you’re a business owner, you may have realized that your building is also a difficult space for acoustics. Whether you operate a house of worship, a music venue, theater, recording studio, or restaurant, an acoustic consultant can help you achieve a balanced level of noise.
