Delivering High-Quality Acoustics for the Audio Lab of Libre Wireless Technologies
After many years we would like to discuss and showcase one of our first and most challenging projects. Libre Wireless Technologies, is a leading company in wireless audio streaming technology. The challenge was to provide our expertise as Acoustics, Noise, and Vibration consultants for their audio lab project, which was left unsatisfactorily halfway done by a turnkey contractor. Our team took this as an opportunity to showcase our skills and deliver a high-quality acoustic lab for our client. The greatest achievement for us was that their lab was certified by their partner Amazon, USA without a hitch. Yes the same company responsible for the voice Assistant ALEXA.
Using Advanced Sound Insulation and Sound Absorption Software
We used advanced sound insulation and sound absorption software to provide a detailed analysis of the acoustic environment in the audio lab. Our team created custom acoustic absorption elements to reduce echo and reverberation. Almost all acoustic absorption elements were custom made, including the door, which was designed by us and realized by the clients’ onsite tradespeople with the help of an engineering firm to ensure its structural reliability. Every detail, including the door sealing mechanism, sound insulation performance, and aesthetics, was considered. The client trusted us to deliver the most stunning lab, and we exceeded their expectations.
Designing the Custom Door
The audio lab featured a double door entry system with a vestibule. We designed a custom door that was acoustically sealed to prevent any sound leakage. The door designed weighed nearly 400 kg with superb sound insulation properties. The door was made by the clients tradespeople with an acoustic insulation core with several composite layers and a painted plywood panelling finish to reduce sound transmission. The door included two flaps at the front and back and three stepped layers of sealing to ensure best sound insulation performance.
Selection of HVAC and Ducting Noise Control
We used noise power data from the HVAC manufacturer to select the appropriate cassette for the lab. The ducting noise control was designed by us to ensure a quiet environment for the lab’s testing purposes. We considered every service penetration for electrical, data cables, fire protection, and other utilities to ensure complete acoustic isolation.
Supervision Services and Cost Savings
Our team supervised the removal of the old faulty structures and reused the old material for the project, saving costs for the client. We worked closely with the client to achieve the stringent reverberation time and noise floor, which had a narrow tolerance for the lab’s testing purposes. Our expertise and attention to detail paid off as the client received certification from their partner to run the lab for testing purposes.
