Achieving exceptional Hi-Fi sound in a shared living space often seems like a compromise. This project proves that with a data-driven approach, you can turn a problematic room into a true sonic sanctuary.
The homeowners had an excellent speaker system, but the room's acoustics were holding it back, leading to an unbalanced and lifeless sound. Ekustik® provided a comprehensive, tailored solution.
A Precise, Data-Driven Acoustic Strategy
Our process began with detailed acoustic measurements to precisely identify the room's trouble spots. Based on these findings, we developed a targeted treatment plan focused on clarity and control:
- Ekustik® Parametric Queen panels were strategically placed on the front wall to scatter reflections and enhance high-frequency clarity.
- A large Ekustik® Acoustic Parametric Wall was added to the back wall to control reflections and create an immersive soundstage.
The homeowners were fully involved from the start, utilizing our sample service for wood and fabric finishes, ensuring the acoustic treatment seamlessly matched their decor. We also provided 3D renderings to clearly visualize the final result.
The Outcome: A Livelier, More Immersive Sound
After the professional installation and final setup (including optimal speaker and listening position), we conducted a final acoustic measurement.
While the overall reverberation time decreased slightly (from 0.8 to 0.7 seconds), the subjective listening experience improved dramatically. The client was delighted, reporting a much more lively soundstage and a tremendous improvement in the clarity and presence of the mid and high frequencies.
This project clearly demonstrates that an ordinary living room can become an extraordinary listening space with a precise, aesthetic, and effective acoustic solution.
