Acoustics
• The term “acoustics” describes how sound behaves in an enclosed
space and one could devote a lifetime to its study.
• On the surface, it considers the direct sound, reflections and
reverberation. The sound waves travel out and strike a multitude of
surfaces the floor, ceiling, walls, chairs, windows, people, and so on.
• A recording studio is a facility for sound recording and mixing.
• Ideally, the space is specially designed by an acoustician to achieve
the desired acoustic properties (sound diffusion, low level of
reflections, adequate reverberation time for the size of the ambient,
etc.).
Acoustics (Contd..)
• Types of surfaces: There are three types of surfaces which come into
play while talking about acoustics
• Reflective
• Absorbing
• Diffusing
• Fine-tuning sound quality inside a studio setting requires strategic
placement of sound absorption surfaces to control reverb time and
diffusion materials to control "placement" of the sound energy.
• Today’s state of the art acoustic materials include fibre based (fibre
glass, Cotton /Polyester), foams and a variety of alternative products.
Selection of the proper materials is dependent on room size,
composition, building codes and desired finished appearance.
