The Acoustical Society of America.
Since its organization in 1929, the Society has grown steadily in membership and stature. At this time nearly 7000 men and women who work in acoustics throughout the U.S. and abroad belong to this prestigious Society. A variety of fields related to sound are represented:
Physics,
Measurement Technologies and Instrumentation,
Nearly All Engineering Disciplines, including:
Electrical,
Mechanical,
Civil,
Aeronautica.l
Robotics and Computer Sciences,
Oceanography,
Underwater Propagation,
Biology,
Physiology,
Psychology,
Architecture (e.g., Concert Hall Design),
Speech and Hearing,
Music,
Noise and Noise Control,
Animal Bioacoustics,
Structural Acoustics and Vibration.
This diversity, along with the opportunities provided for the exchange of knowledge and points of view, has become one of the Society's unique and strongest assets. From the beginning, the Acoustical Society has sought to serve the widespread interests of its members and the acoustics community in all branches of acoustics, both theoretical and applied.
The Society is primarily a voluntary organization and attracts the interest, commitment, and service of a large number of professionals. Their contributions in the formation, guidance, administration, and development of the ASA are largely responsible for its world-wide preeminence in the field of acoustics ...
BV Oorzaak is gespecialiseerd in geluid, geluidsadvies, geluidsontwerp, geluidstechniek en audio trainingen.
Rob Acket en Cees Wagenaar werken meer dan vijftien jaar samen als geluidstechnici en geluidsontwerpers. Highlights uit hun loopbaan zijn talrijke musicals voor Joop van den Ende, de theatertours van De Nieuwe Snaar, het geluid voor Opera in Ahoy', openlucht projecten rond klassieke muziek (de Grossophoon) en geluidsanimaties (Van Stilte tot tot Chaos). Vele organisaties maken gebruik van de advies afdeling en de In Company Trainingen.
In 1997 gaven zij aan hun samenwerking een nieuwe vorm: BV Oorzaak. Acket en Wagenaar zijn twee geluidsmensen met respect voor elkaars oren. "Er zijn maar weinig geluidstechnici die met elkaar kunnen en durven communiceren over wat ze horen, die van elkaar begrijpen welke klankkleur ze nastreven." Wagenaar en Acket hebben elkaar daarin gevonden. Zij brengen een schat aan kennis en vaardigheden mee. Wat voor hen de normaalste zaak van de wereld is, is voor anderen vaak een eye-opener
Als er iets te zeggen valt over hun eigen-aardigheden, dan is Cees Wagenaar de enthousiaste conceptbedenker die altijd blijft vragen en fantaseren, en is Rob Acket de creatieve doener die met beide benen op de grond blijft staan. Bij elkaar staan zij voor een unieke combinatie van diensten op het gebied van professionele audio.
Architectural and Acoustical Design and Consulting: FM Design Ltd.
Francis Manzella Design Ltd is a full service Architectural Acoustics, and Media Facility design firm based in Yorktown Heights, NY. We specialize in Architectural Acoustic Design and modeling of critical listening environments and performance spaces for the audio Recording, Post-Production, Broadcast and Entertainment industries.
We are immersed in the ‘process’ and are always investigating new techniques and solutions for the acoustic design challenges we face on each project. Incorporating the best from previous successes and stretching the envelope in aesthetic and acoustic conceptualization keeps the process stimulating and fresh. Personal service and a resolute desire to see projects through to completion are the principals upon which our service is based.
We are not into providing "cookie cutter" solutions and will not sell pre-existing designs to new customers. “I have yet to walk into a new project that had the exact same requirements or design challenges as a previous one. The individual attention given to each client and their needs, is what we pride ourselves on, and I believe this is what gives us an edge” states principal designer, Francis Manzella. This, along with over 20 years of actual in studio experience as engineers and technicians and musicians, is what separates Francis Manzella Design from many other acoustics and design firms.
Our Client List reflects the many aspects of acoustic design and consulting that we have been involved in. From large scale Multi-room Commercial Studio and Systems designs, to small private-use Production Studio consultations, FM Design strives to give each of it's customers the individual solutions that fit the budget, timeframe and design goals of the project ...

Find out what it takes to design an acoustically correct control room.
We can think of any critical listening environment in terms of two primary categories of acoustical requirements: sound-transfer acoustics and internal room acoustics. Of course, finished design solutions often integrate both of these categories, but let’s look at them separately to understand them more thoroughly ...
