Design Optimization When Communication is Paramount

Many facilities, such as auditoriums, churches, and meeting rooms are constructed with the express purpose of allowing audio communication involving a substantial number of people. Thoughts, ideas and feelings are exchanged through the medium of acoustics, in the form of speech, music, and other audio presentations. In these spaces, it is imperative that the acoustic medium be designed to optimize the effectiveness of the audio communications.

PRIVACY FOR OPEN OFFICE AREAS, MEETING ROOMS, & EXECUTIVE OFFICES:

There are other situations, such as adjacent open plan office workspaces, executive offices, and meeting rooms which seek to minimize the transmission of speech communication and noise between adjacent spaces. Creation of an acoustic medium which inhibits sound transmission is required in these cases.

Spectra Tech can guide the acoustical design and construction of your facility. We have the ability to perform onsite testing to quantify acoustic performance in an existing facility, and compare the test results to established performance standards.

We can and assist your architect or interior designer in selecting appropriate construction materials, finishes, furnishings, equipment, and installation methods necessary to achieve desired results.
