Acoustics and Acoustic Measurements

MediaTech has extensive experience in project implementation and the
measurement of acoustics and acoustic spaces. Our real world
experience, numerous excellently managed past projects, and
knowledgeable experts guarantee a top-quality result and the complete
satisfaction of our clients. Just contact our specialists at
akustika@mediatech.sk.

We offer:

•    Project development for acoustic spaces (recording studios,
conference rooms, offices, industrial buildings, etc.)
•    Architectural acoustic design
•    Computer simulation of the distribution of the space’s acoustic
parameters before and after the application of acoustic elements
(decay time, clarity, auralization, etc.)
•    Recommendations for the optimal type, number and placement of
speakers in the project space based on computer simulation of the
acoustical properties of the area

Requirements for the architectural acoustics of cultural and public
spaces are delineated in STN 730527, depending on the volume and
purpose of the space and the optimal value of decay time at 1 kHz (or
500 Hz).
Important parameters and measurements used to solve architectural
acoustics problems are taken from floor plan drawings made on site
inspection
In designing acoustic solutions for a space, we rely on our prior
experience with similar or more complex spaces and the results of
computer analyses (using EASE software for acoustic simulation).

Acoustic Elements

The purpose of adding acoustic elements to a space provide insulation
from outside sounds and to absorb noise made by the audience inside
the room.
An important issue is to prevent unwanted reverberations from room
surfaces, which significantly reduce the intelligibility of the sound.
High acoustic quality in confined spaces is achieved by selecting
suitable types of acoustic elements, and determining the optimal
quantity (area) and distribution of these elements in the space.
The main criteria for selecting acoustic elements and determining
their area are:
•    Change of the decay time for optimal results in particular octave bands
•    Dissemination of individual reflections from surfaces
Choosing the appropriate type, number and placement of speakers in the
acoustic space ensures that sound reaches the audience evenly and with
satisfactory clarity.
