Even the Best Sound Systems Need Help in Making a Room the Perfect Audio Experience

Movies and music are essential parts of our everyday lives. The storylines and songs influence our understanding of the world, inspire creativity, and give energy and focus to the day.

Artists pour over the details of how a piece sounds, the emotion it imparts, and fret over whether your audio system can reproduce all the nuances they have crafted.

Walter Murch, the esteemed editor and sound designer, stated, “In the same way that painting, or looking at paintings, makes you see the world in a different way, listening to interestingly arranged sounds makes you hear differently.”

Your dedicated home theater and listening rooms should enhance the enjoyment of your media, allowing you to experience the audio in full. Acoustic treatments ensure that the multidimensional sound field an artist created is maintained.

Physics of Sound

Every home theater begins with the room itself. The size, shape, construction materials, and even the lights and decor affect the final result. When an acoustician speaks of a room’s sound, they describe how the physical sound waves interact with the space they are in.

As a general rule, hard surfaces cause audio to bounce around, and soft materials absorb. A truly square room results in frequencies that reflect and travel in regular intervals, interacting not just with the walls but with each other. The result is audio that can be colored, changing based on how often the signals reflect or cancel themselves out when they overlap. The outcome in an untreated room is audio that sounds tinny and indistinct with speech that is muddy and blurred.

The Quality of Quiet

Applying acoustic treatments seeks to resolve two main issues, the nature of sound in a room and preventing outside noise from entering. Sound panels provide a way to redirect or absorb sound that ‘tunes the room,’ making an okay room stunning. The panels come in colors and designs that complement any design, adding to the intended aesthetic.

Soundproofing ensures that you can be transported into the story on screen without the distraction of noises outside your home theater. A quieter room makes a calibrated sound system even more powerful, delivering surround sound so precise that the line between fantasy and reality is blurred.
