Acoustic Design & Consultancy for Entertainment Venues
Bars, Restaurants, Pubs Nightclubs and Live Music Venues. We can help with planning matters, complaints mitigation and optimising your acoustics.
Noise Impact Assessments
A Noise Impact Assessment is likely to be needed for newly proposed entertainment venues and for extensions to existing venues or changes in opening hours. This may also be the first step in quantifying and mitigating a complaints situation at an existing venue.
Good Acoustic Design
As part of a noise impact assessment, we can consider the construction methods of new or existing entertainment venues, transmission paths and any weak points to minimise sound leakage without wasting money on treatments that may not have the desired effect. The better the sound insulation of the whole building, the louder it can be where you want it loud with less disturbance to your neighbours.
Optimising Internal Acoustics
The internal acoustics of your venue play a major part in customer enjoyment.
Poor acoustics can make even the best PA systems and most talented acts sound lacking in clarity, quality and punch. We can help you to maximise the acoustic quality of your venue through thoughtful design that offers a solution for the range of acts that will perform and fits with the aesthetics of the venue design.
If a space is too reverberant, music can sound muddy, speech indistinct. If a space is too absorbent, music sounds thin and uninteresting, while voices struggle to reach all members of an audience.
Good acoustics are not just important for music and performance, they are just as essential in a restaurant. A good acoustic environment with correct reverberation, appropriate background sound and sufficient acoustic privacy can actually help people enjoy the wonderful food they have been served.
