(Seattle, Washington--April 29, 2009) According to premier systems integration firm Advanced Broadcast Solutions (ABS), it’s never too early for any commercial facility that requires sound reinforcement to think about audio.
Mark Miller is a sales and design specialist for ABS who has been working on audio design for over a decade. He said there’s a lot of guessing and misinformation that goes into some facility design that can cause serious acoustic issues in a finished church, school, studio, theater, casino, stadium, arena, or transportation terminal.
“A common problem is once you’ve committed to some of these design decisions, they can be really costly to change later on,” Miller explained. “Acoustics are a fundamental backbone of your facility and deserve more attention in the initial design and construction. Once it’s been done properly, you will never have to think about it again.”
As part of its effort to improve audio performance for its clients, ABS uses EASE (Electro-Acoustic Simulator for Engineers), which was developed by the Ahnert Feistel Media Group. With its extensive collection of mathematical and acoustical algorithms, as well as other tools, the EASE software suite provides modeling and simulation of both venue acoustics and sound system performance.
As a result, ABS can accurately predict real-world acoustics; in other words, clients can “hear” how a room will sound before it’s built or equipment is installed. The company can also simulate how specific speakers and sound systems will function in an environment, so they can pinpoint optimal placement and configurations. ABS also uses SMAART, a software package produced by EAW for real-time sound measurement, optimization, and control of existing venues.
“A little extra attention at the beginning of a project can save a great deal of time and money in the long run,” said Mark Siegel, president of ABS. “We make a point of helping our clients with potential audio problems. With our experienced team and access to the best technology, ABS can help maximize audio performance in new facilities or redesigned spaces.”
