Aboutus
We are an Acoustics and AV (audio-video) Design & Consultancy firm, formed by a team of enthusiasts with professional education and sound knowledge in acoustics. With combined hands-on experience of over 30 years, are completely equipped to accept projects in the field of AV design, acoustics design and noise control using scientific methods and advanced analysis and simulation tools. We also are members of internationally acclaimed institutions like Institute of Noise Control Engineers (INCE) and Acoustics Society of India
In the Architectural or Building Acoustics segment we provide solutions for hotels, business parks, auditoria, seminar halls, cinemas/multiplexes, open plan offices, etc., for reverberation time control as well as sound attenuation.
In the Industrial Acoustics Segment, we design for Noise and Vibration of machinery and also design test cells and anechoic chambers. We designs and guidelines in accordance International Standards.
In the Community Noise segment, we provide guidelines and design for setting residential complexes and commercial spaces highway and airport/aircraft noises using advanced measurement tools and noise mapping techniques.
We have expertise in designing performing spaces like auditoria, theatres, and cinemas.
a. We study and issue guidelines for the space geometry and utilisation of the hall.
b. We provide complete design for stage units, drapery system and space utilisation
c. Detailed stage lighting system design including selection of fixtures, dimmers and control systems.
