Home Theatre and Listening Room Acoustics
Print Version


We provide acoustical design for home theatre and listening rooms, primarily working with interior designers or the home theatre systems contractor. In new construction, we are able to provide guidance on: room dimension ratios, optimum listening position, wall and floor construction, HVAC requirements, as well as interior finish materials and their effect on acoustical performance.

In renovations or installations in existing rooms, we are able to help optimize the performance of the theatre or listening room within the limitations of the existing structure. We help identify the critical issues that will affect room modes and bass response, imaging and localization, and noise transmission and noise intrusion.

Whether the room seats 2 or 20, a sizable investment in home theatre audio equipment can be wasted if the room's acoustical performance won't support the system's capability. Where budget or construction limitations restrict the extent of acoustical treatment that can be incorporated, we can help prioritize the elements so that the best available performance is reached within the available budget.
