Spaces where we listen to music and create
CHALLENGE
What is the challenge in high-demand listening spaces?
The acoustic demands are particularly high in spaces where we listen to music or work creatively with audio, such as listening rooms, control rooms, or event venues.
This is primarily because room modes and interferences can lead to significant local variations in sound levels. Depending on the position of the listeners and the sound source, certain frequencies in the room may boom, be too quiet, or even become inaudible. This greatly affects the sound quality of the speakers and the overall listening experience.
Analyzing the modal field in rooms is only possible through real measurements or wave-based methods. Calculating reverberation time using Sabine's formula or simulating with ray-tracing techniques are unsuitable for this purpose.
SOLUTION
How do we address these challenges at audics?
At audics, we work with the latest methods in hybrid room acoustic simulation software. This allows us, for the first time, to conduct a wave-based analysis of the sound field virtually. We can accurately predict room modes and other wave phenomena that impact the listening experience with frequency precision.
In our case study in collaboration with Treble Technologies, we examine the new control room of Post Scriptum Audio, a professional provider of voice productions and audiobooks based in Nuremberg (Germany). By comparing the simulation with real measurements, we demonstrate the precision of our room acoustic planning capabilities.
How can you get a sense of what we mean by precision?
Discover in our interactive 3D model how room modes are represented in wave-based simulation compared to real measurements. With our help, optimize your resources and don't overhear any errors in the design.

ADDED VALUE
What is the added value for you?
Experience highly efficient and effective planning of room acoustic measures with us as experts in wave-based acoustics.
We have the capability to precisely determine the position and quantity of bass traps, edge, resonant, and other low-frequency absorbers to achieve optimal results across the entire audible frequency range.
For virtual spaces, we enable an authentic auditory dimension through the generation of high order ambisonic impulse responses.
We offer you unprecedented precision and realism, bringing a new level of planning certainty and immersion.

Experts in Precision
For the evaluation of acoustic environments, we use state-of-the-art simulation methods that realistically represent diffraction, interference, and scattering. Read our comparative study in collaboration with Treble Technologies, our partner for innovative wave-based simulation solutions.
We are excited to present the results at this year's Inter-Noise in Nantes, France – the 53rd International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering.
