Recording studio and echo chamber

We keep two rooms of our own to test in: a recording studio and an echo chamber. They are how a claim about a material gets checked before it reaches a client's project.

Also in test facilities

Manufacturers publish figures obtained in laboratory conditions. Those figures are a starting point, not a promise. Having rooms of our own means we can compare materials, check an assembly we intend to build, and test equipment before it is specified.

What we use them for

  • Comparing absorption materials and panel constructions.
  • Checking door, window and partition assemblies before they go into a project.
  • Testing loudspeakers and system components.
  • Training our own engineers on measurement technique.
  • Demonstrating differences to clients who would rather hear than read.

Available to clients

Where a project turns on a question we can answer in these rooms, we will — a sample built and measured is cheaper than a mistake built at full scale.
