When it comes to buildings with great acoustics, you probably imagine a magnificent concert hall or an auditorium designed to host the local drama club. But acoustical consultants can help you adjust the sound in plenty more spaces beyond these. Hiring an acoustical consulting firm while building or remodeling a specific space can help create a quieter (or louder) experience for all who enter the room. Here's how acoustical engineers can assist you with the audio or sound experience in a variety of different ways.
Keep Conversations From Carrying Throughout Your Office Building
Are you building a new office space that you want to be calm and quiet or are you trying to make adjustments to an existing space due to problems with sound carrying too far? An acoustical engineer can assess the situation and help you make adjustments that will keep conversations from carrying beyond where they are supposed to go. Your workers will be able to talk out in the hallway, for example, without bothering those still in the office or cubicles on the other side of the wall. If you have an open floor plan, an acoustics expert can help ensure that a conversation on one end of the floor does not carry all the way down to the opposite end.
Kick Your Public Speaking Up a Notch Without Bothering Others
Does your office or building have a conference room or presentation area where someone might stand up to give others an overview or update on your business on a regular basis? If you have a room where public speaking or presentations frequently occur, your acoustics expert can help ensure the speaker's voice will come through loud and clear within the chosen space but also keep it from bothering people on the other side of the door or wall. With the right acoustics, you can give a presentation without the need for a microphone or other A/V equipment and without worrying about whether the people in the back can hear you.
Acoustical Engineers Can Help Create Havoc for Your Athletic Opponents
Acoustical engineers are often hired to help keep things quiet or to stop sound from spreading too far, but what if you actually want to make things as noisy as possible? Hire an acoustics expert when building a new stadium or arena for your local sports team, and you may allow the hometown crowd to create even more noise when the opponent is on offense and your defense needs a little extra energy to get the job done.

I still remember my family renting VHS tapes from my local video store every weekend on our family's Friday "movie night." Of course, we also had an additional video tape rewinder machine, because there was a rumor that the rewind mechanisms on VHS video players typically wore out quickly. Audio visual technology has advanced rapidly since those days, and I love staying on top of all of the new A/V technology out there. I have a home movie projector in my home theater, and I love teaching others about the benefits of these relatively affordable machines that provide a real "movie theater" experience right at home. I also stay on top of new television technology and am always eager to try out new TV tech. I plan to post many A/V tips and tricks on my new blog, so come back often!
