Sound design and acoustic calculations

The acoustic calculation service is an opportunity to achieve ideal sound in any room and outdoor area, with minimal investment in finishing, and with the correct selection of acoustic systems and their placement. The most important thing in every audio equipment project is to make the right choice of speakers. Therefore, we recommend performing an acoustic calculation of the site when designing an audio system.

This process usually consists of the following steps:

1. Architecture analysis. Using drawings, samples and sections, an acoustic engineer analyzes the room - geometry, decoration, places where it is possible to install loudspeakers. These parameters affect the acoustics of the hall. Based on the data obtained, they find the ideal place to install the acoustics.

2. Room measurements. Sometimes inspection of documentation is not enough - an expert needs to go to the selected site. Inspecting the room allows the audio engineer to identify the necessary details for further design of the sound system.

3. Revealing reverberation time. Each room has its own reverberation time. For an accurate calculation, specialists in the room, using special equipment, measure the reverberation time at different frequencies, the result of which is entered into the program for acoustic calculation. Following this scheme, the possibility of making high-quality sound for the hall increases significantly.

4. Acoustic calculation in the program. After identifying all the necessary parameters, a special three-dimensional model of the hall or open area is created. The actual value of the reverberation time is established using past analysis and wall cladding. After entering all the parameters of the room, simulators of acoustic systems are installed in the three-dimensional model, which have the characteristics of a real acoustic system. The database of acoustic systems in the EASE program is always updated, it is also possible to edit the characteristics and, by frequency, use an equalizer or crossover. Geometric coordinates can be changed in the same way as when installing systems: in height and inclination. As a result, a picture is displayed where all the necessary parameters are indicated, according to which you can edit the project and make changes.

5. Purchase of equipment. Only after performing an acoustic calculation is audio equipment selected - loudspeakers, subwoofers, power amplifiers and other audio equipment. In rooms with incorrect acoustic properties, it is necessary to perform sound absorption; special materials for this are also selected by acoustic engineers after performing an acoustic calculation.

By the way, you won’t be able to make a correct acoustic calculation on your own - it requires special knowledge of not only acoustic calculation programs, but also experience. We recommend that you immediately contact our engineers – EXPRESS SOUND +7(495)642-50-30. Our specialists have already completed various sound projects: concert venues, nightclubs, stadiums, open areas, Temples. We selected and installed sound equipment.
