Function defines requirements room acoustics
Spaces where sound has to evoke emotions or be highly functional require optimal room acoustics. Examples include theatres, cinemas and auditoria, but also classrooms, gymnasiums, churches or meeting centres.
Holding a team meeting in a church is probably just as ‘successful’ as performing an aria in a classroom. In the first case, the speech functionality is way off because of too long a reverberation time, while in the second case, the performance loses its luster because of too short a reverberation time.
Acoustic expectations
The acoustics of a room are influenced by the volume and shape of a room, and the finish of the used materials. The desired room acoustics are dictated by the function of the room, but also by our expectations. A pool sounds ‘hollow’ and if it doesn’t, it ‘doesn’t add up’.
For appropriate room and hall acoustics for all your large and small projects, Cauberg Huygen offers tailor-made solutions. Not only do we advise on acoustics for new buildings, but we can also help you improve the room acoustics of existing buildings. Our consultants are happy to assist you with your project.
