The Soundstage: Home vs Studio Control Room
A couple of months ago, I was involved in a discussion about the differences between the acoustics in the home and those of the recording studio. The various responses to the thread, on the audioasylum.com-sponsored Rives Acoustic forum, were diverse and very interesting in that they underscored what an extremely subjective thing listening to music can be ...
Modular Acoustics is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has just celebrated its one year anniversary. Over 500 panels have been shipped with great reviews. Many customers love them so much they've placed second and third orders. They just can't get enough.
When I went to treat my studio space I researched acoustics and DIY plans. After a while I started researching the products that were currently on the market and was greatly disappointed with the price of acoustic products. There just wasn't a product that fit most people's budget. I personally didn't know anyone that was willing to spend $2400 on an acoustic treatment. I knew there was a huge market that wasn't being acknowledged; the people who don't have tons of money for acoustics.
Music is an expensive hobby but it's a lot of fun for the people who do it. Making money with your hobby is a dream for everyone but until you hit it big, you'll most likely be pinching pennies saving as much money as you can. That's what I do and so I've come up with a product to help out.
Acoustics is expensive any way you look at it, but it is one of the most valuable investments in a music environment. Sure, you can spend $1000 on a mic but all that mic is going to record is all of the flaws of your room. And those new $1200 monitors might sound better than your old ones but for some reason you still can't get the bass to sound right. That's where acoustic treatment comes in, to help clean up the low end and first reflections.
The new Modular Acoustics panels are finally ready! They are best deal out there. No other product on the market has the flexibility and performance for the price. They're innovative yet incredibly simple, that's what makes them so inexpensive. The portability of the panels is what really sets them apart. The fact that you can set them up as an instant vocal booth and quickly set them up in the room when you're ready to mix makes them unlike any other product. I'm proud to finally offer acoustic solutions that really performs for such a low price.
The JHA design team translates the goals of clients, users, architects, and designers into acoustically excellent solutions specific to program and budget. Work begins in the early stages of concept development and planning and is constantly refined through a dynamic design process that combines scientific knowledge and calculation with imagination, experience and skill.
Architectural acoustic design involves many processes, such as determining the volume, shape, proportions, marterials, and finishes of acoustically critical spaces. Applied research, site measurements and analysis of acoustic data, hands-on lab testing of materials and equipmant, and studies with physical and computer models are all part of the creative process. Orchestra pits, orchestra shells, overhead reflector systems, and acoustically adjustable elements are designed. Noise and vibration need to be controlled, and silent heating and air conditioning systems developed. During construction, JHA works closely with engineers and contractors to ensure that acoustic details are integrated onto the building. As the project nears completion, JHA fine-tunes the acoustically adjustable elements and trains users in their operations.
