The client sought acoustic treatment for their living room to enhance sound quality and minimise reflections. With a preference for music listening, they desired a solution that would optimise the space's acoustics. After conducting thorough assessments and simulations, we devised a treatment plan, focusing initially on the wall behind the speakers.
How Did DECIBEL Enhance the Acoustic Ambiance of the Living Room?
Scope of Work
- Consultation with the client regarding acoustic treatment needs.
- Conducting acoustic simulation surveys to assess the space.
- Collaborating with the client to determine preferred materials and treatment areas.
- Planning treatment in two stages: addressing the wall behind the monitors in stage one and potential future treatment of the ceiling and dining area in stage two.
- Visualisation of proposed treatment solutions.
- Production and installation of wooden panels for acoustic treatment.
Challenge
The main challenge was to optimize the acoustics of the living room while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, treating a combined living and dining area posed considerations for overall volume and potential future treatment needs.
What Were the Steps Involved in Treating the Living Room with WAVO White Wooden Panels?
Solution
After careful consideration and simulations, we recommended treating the wall behind the screen and the speakers with wooden panels as the initial stage of acoustic treatment. These WAVO white wooden panels were chosen for their sound absorption properties and visual appeal. The decision to address treatment in stages allowed for flexibility and ensured effective results while maintaining the desired aesthetic of the space.
Products Used
- WAVO White Wooden Panels: Selected for their sound absorption properties and aesthetic appeal, these panels provided an effective solution for minimising reflections and enhancing sound quality in the living room.
Result
The completion of stage one of the acoustic treatment significantly improved the sound quality in the living room, providing a more enjoyable listening experience for the client. The aesthetic enhancement brought by the wooden panels added a stylish touch to the space, aligning with the client's vision for their living area. While stage two of the treatment remains a future consideration, the client expressed satisfaction with the initial results and looks forward to further enhancing the acoustics of their space.
