Auditorium Acoustics

Artec is perhaps best known for its track record in designing auditoria with first class acoustics. Whether dedicated concert halls for symphonic music, theatres for Broadway or West-End style musical theatre, opera houses, recital halls, drama theatres, or multi-purpose concert theatres, we take great care in designing spaces that provide the appropriate level of acoustics quality.

Great acoustics are achieved by developing a room design with an appropriate balance of room shape and size, room volume, distribution of audience seating and the use of appropriate building materials. We believe that the goal of the design team is to achieve an optimal balance between the architecture, acoustics and other considerations, and we work very closely and collaboratively with the rest of the Design Team of the project, usually providing a Basic Design to start off the iterative design process.

Achieving appropriately low levels of background noise is also an essential part of ensuring a great acoustics experience and a great deal of attention is required by the entire Design Team from the outset of the project in the area of Background Noise and Vibration Control.
