Architectural Acoustics

Working with architects, engineers, and contractors, we provide comprehensive design and construction documentation to ensure each space is built not only to look, but to sound as great as possible.

Electro Acoustics
Sound system design and sound reinforcement is more than just specifying speakers in a room. It involves interfacing the sound system to it’s environment, which we look at as both an engineering practice and an art-form. 

Studio Design

While we’re known for designing recording studios (maybe hotlink studios to portfolio page?), we’re able to handle any studio project including but not limited to TV, film, and radio broadcast.

Noise Control

Most commonly mechanical noise and vibration control, we rely heavily on our decades of experience to help mitigate and solve a wide range of noise problems.  More often than not, we’ve seen the issue before.

​Site Analysis

Thinking about how a space will sound and function in the beginning phases of a project saves a lot of headaches in later phases.  Site analysis is hugely important and we’re always happy to get involved early to do this for you

Independent Acoustical Consultants
As independent consultants, we do not represent any manufacturers, suppliers, or resellers of acoustical products or sound systems. Clients of our firm can be confident our independent evaluations and recommendations are completely free from bias, offering the most effective and cost-efficient solutions for your projects.
