Understand the environment
Review room geometry, finishes, occupancy, sound sources and intended activities to understand the acoustic conditions.
Acoustic Consultancy & Planning
Better sound begins with better decisions.
Every environment has its own acoustic behaviour. We help organizations understand sound, identify performance challenges and plan environments where communication feels clearer, more controlled and more comfortable.

TBS / ACOUSTICS 01
From acoustic uncertainty to informed planning.
A coordinated approach to sound, space and technology.
The Consultancy Perspective
Good acoustics are not an afterthought. They are part of the design brief.
A room can look impressive and still perform poorly when sound is not considered early. Acoustic consultancy brings measurable considerations into architectural planning, interior design and technology integration.
Define the design response
Identify where absorption, isolation, sound masking or layout coordination may support the desired performance.
Connect design with technology
Align acoustic recommendations with AV systems, loudspeaker positions, architectural details and operational needs.

BOARDROOM / SPEECH CLARITY
01
Improve speech intelligibility
Meeting participants need to understand speech clearly across the table and through conferencing microphones.
Design considerations
↗
Review room reverberation behaviour.
↗
Coordinate microphone and loudspeaker locations.
↗
Assess ceiling and wall finish options.
↗
Consider room geometry and seating layout.
Final recommendations depend on room dimensions, measurements, construction details and project requirements.
Design Thinking
From uncontrolled reflections to considered performance.
Explore a conceptual visual comparison of an untreated environment and a space with coordinated acoustic treatment.
Before Treatment
Hard reflective surfaces can contribute to prolonged reverberation and reduced speech definition.
After Acoustic Planning
Appropriate absorption, isolation and system coordination can support a more controlled listening environment.

Our Methodology
A structured approach to acoustic decisions.
We connect the initial brief with practical design considerations, documentation and coordination across project stakeholders.
Discovery & Briefing
Understand the building type, room purpose, occupancy, operational expectations and identified sound-related concerns.
Assessment & Analysis
Review available drawings, finishes, room dimensions, noise sources and relevant acoustic performance criteria.
Design Recommendations
Develop suitable treatment strategies, material considerations, system placement guidance and design coordination inputs.
Coordination & Review
Coordinate recommendations with architects, interior designers, MEP, AV teams and project stakeholders.
Project Outputs
Insight that supports execution.
Consultancy outputs are aligned with the project scope and information available. Typical deliverables may include:
Acoustic Design Brief
Project objectives, room functions, design assumptions and acoustic considerations for the environment.
Room & Noise Assessment
Review of relevant sound sources, room conditions and assessment requirements based on project scope.
Acoustic Treatment Strategy
Guidance on absorption, isolation, surface treatment and potential acoustic product applications.
AV & Architectural Coordination
Inputs for loudspeaker locations, microphone coverage, ceiling coordination and room integration.
Technical Recommendations
Material performance considerations, design notes and project-specific technical recommendations.
Environments We Consider
Different spaces. Different acoustic priorities.
Acoustic planning should reflect how people use a space, what they need to hear and how sound interacts with the environment.
Corporate Offices
Speech privacy, meeting intelligibility, collaborative zones and background noise considerations.
Education & Training
Listening conditions, speech definition, classroom communication and presentation environments.
Hospitality & Leisure
Guest comfort, activity zoning, sound separation and coordinated audio environments.
Healthcare
Noise awareness, privacy considerations, communication needs and sensitive occupied spaces.
Auditoriums & Venues
Speech and programme clarity, audience coverage and room response considerations.
Retail & Experience Centres
Audio zoning, visitor comfort, sound interaction and experiential requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding acoustic consultancy.
A few practical answers to help define the scope of an acoustic planning discussion.
Acoustic consultancy is the process of understanding how sound behaves within and between spaces and developing design recommendations for the intended use of those spaces. It may include room analysis, noise considerations, treatment strategies and coordination with architectural and AV systems.
Ideally, acoustic considerations should be introduced during concept or design development. Early coordination can help identify room geometry, finish, isolation and system placement requirements before construction decisions are finalized.
No. Acoustic treatment generally addresses sound behaviour within a room, such as reflections and reverberation. Sound isolation focuses on limiting sound transmission between spaces. The appropriate solution depends on the actual problem.
Yes. Acoustic and AV planning can be coordinated around microphone coverage, loudspeaker positioning, room geometry, ceiling details and the intended communication experience.
Not every initial consultation requires on-site measurement. The assessment method depends on project stage, available drawings, observed issues, technical requirements and agreed scope.
