Glenn Gould Studio Acoustics Information.
Take a look around and notice the colours and features of this rather unusual performing space. You will see some odd angles in the way the walls seem to be broken up. Both the design elements and the colours echo the basic design of the Broadcasting Centre exterior and this is intentional. The top architects of this building also designed this space and unified it to the bigger structure ...
Why is perfect sound reproduction so difficult to achieve? Precisely what factors inhibit even the most expensive audio system from faithfully releasing all the expressive qualities captured in professionally recorded music?
These are the questions that have challenged the Harmonix engineers for some three decades. The pursuit of answers started with a great effort to understand how perfect, beautiful sound, reproduced or live, is produced in the first place. Through the intricate study and analysis of every aspect of the violin, with its uniquely exquisite sound, the Harmonix engineers discovered their secret: a phenomenon known as harmonized resonance. During intensive resonance tests conducted on the near-perfect Stradivarious, Guarnieri, and Amati violins, they established that when resonance is harmonized in one frequency, every quality of the sound is conveyed precisely as it first emanated from the instrument. By tapping various points of the violins to measure frequencies of resonance, they made amazing discovery: no matter where tapped, resonance is perfectly balanced in one frequency, thus allowing no sonic distortion ...

REFLEXION ARTS - Empresa Española de ámbito internacional, especialistas en Acústica y sistemas de Sonido Profesional.
Reflexion Arts, 20 años en la vanguardia de la ACÚSTICA.
Reflexion Arts fue fundada originalmente en 1980 por el Anglo-Ruso Alex J. Weeks, cuya intención era gestionar las operaciones comerciales de Albert Cooper, cuyas famosas flautas de oro y plata siguen siendo usadas por músicos de la talla de James Gallway. En 1983, durante un concierto del ex-flautista de Eurythmics Tim Wheater, Alex Weeks conoció a un ingeniero acústico y ingeniero de sonido de gran prestigio llamado Philip Newell. De este encuentro resultó un acuerdo entre Newell y Weeks con vista a expandir la actividad de Reflexion Arts al ámbito del diseño de estudios de grabación y que tuvo como primero resultado, durante 1984, el Court Studio de los Estudios Jacobs en Farnham, Inglaterra.
La vuelta de Philip Newell al diseño acústico se dio dos años después de haber vendido sus acciones de la Virgin Records con la cuál había pasado 10 años como director técnico. Durante esa época con Virgin fue el fundador del Manor Mobile y el diseñador de sus dos primeros camiones. Su trabajo con los estudios móviles empezó en 1970, mientras trabajaba para Pye Records, con la cual pasaba la mayoría de su tiempo en el estudio móvil ...

The acoustical geometry and set-up of your studio control room has a tremendous impact on your ability to get the sound you want as well as a mix that will transfer to other listening environments.
Noise vs. Acoustics
"Noise" refers to non-musical sounds that affect your environment, while "acoustics" refers to how sound is perceived in a given environment. If you are designing a new studio but haven't dealt with noise issues, whether they stem from a refrigerator in the next room or buses on the street, then you're wasting your money.
The amount of noise you can accept in your studio depends on what you can live with and what kind or work—demos or final mixes, for instance—you do. Typically, a noise floor level rating of STC20 (approximately 20 dB A) is considered reasonable for mixing. On the other hand, there have been successful recordings made in what I would call "hostile environments." It depends on the type of work you are doing. The other noise floor is determined by the limitations of your recording equipment. Do a subjective equipment noise floor test by cranking up the volume in the quiet passages of something you've mixed and listen to the thermal noise and other things that hiss and crack below the level of the music. This may give you an indication of the noise limitations of your recording and playback system ...

Dimensions provides design of audio, video, broadcast and acoustics for sports, arts, and worship venues worldwide with offices in Dallas, New York and Coventry. Our focus is on the experience. We offer an integrated approach to the design of acoustics and performance technologies so that your facility supports the experience for both artist and audience. We have proactively chosen some of the most talented people in the industry to provide design and consulting services in:
Acoustics:
Acoustics deal with the manipulation of the reflection and absorption of sound within a space. We work with the architect to determine the basic room shape, size, ceiling heights, seating and surface finishes so that the correct balance of reflection and absorption meets the performance needs of your space. We develop clear construction recommendations for incorporation into the construction drawings to achieve quiet interiors by minimizing external noise and noise from heating and air conditioning systems.
Audio:
Quality audio systems are key to music and speech presentation. Not only do we define loudspeaker orientation and placement, but we also work with you to design control systems to meet your specific needs. Ancillary systems, such as cueing, paging, background music, assistive listening systems for the hearing impaired and simultaneous translation systems, are also part of our services.
Video:
The integration of video into today’s market continues to press the boundaries of technology. It is exciting to see the dynamic use of large screen video displays in stadiums, interactive video kiosks in theatres, retail environments with sophisticated MATV systems and video projection providing presentation support in churches. We work with you to design solutions for video projection, video production, distributed video and large screen video and scoreboard design.
Lighting:
Lighting can deliver much more than illumination. It can provide impact to a performance, and it can animate architecture. We design systems to meet the needs of stage productions and video broadcast and to produce a “sense of arrival” in lobbies and common areas.
