One of the major aspects to take into account when designing the acoustics of a Public Space, such as a restaurant, a school, a hotel, a gym, or a house of worship, is developing solutions to control the room's reverberation time (RT).
This will help minimise the noise 'build-up' process, making communication easier and avoiding the need for people to raise their voices to be heard and understood.
Vicoustic's range of absorbers dampen reverberation and echoes in a controlled, effective manner.

A studio or control room for recording, mixing, mastering, or broadcast should ensure a clear and complete representation of the acoustic original message without distortions that could compromise its perception.

You must control first reflections, back-wall diffusion, and low frequencies to achieve proper acoustic conditions within your room, whether it’s a control room, a recording booth, a home studio, a rehearsal room, or a broadcast studio for TV or radio.

Vicoustic’s range of absorbers and diffusers helps you to neutralise your acoustic environment in a controlled, effective manner.

The effects of poor acoustic design and noise within an office environment can considerably impact productivity.

Each setting demands specific requirements from big spaces, such as open-plan offices and call centres, to smaller spaces, such as meeting rooms and cellular offices.

Vicoustic developed new lines of products tailored to  help modern offices achieve good internal acoustic conditions that  enhance creativity in the workplace. This includes the VicOffice line,  the VMT line and the Ultra line.

The goal in a Home Theatre or a Hi-End Hi-Fi Listening  Room acoustic design is to provide the audience a neutral acoustic  environment, in order to assure a clear and complete audio experience  without distortions.

The listener should be able to hear the film or music, with minimum influence from external sources such as the room’s acoustics, noise from playing systems, or noise from sources located in adjacent spaces.

Vicoustic’s range of absorbers and diffusers helps you to neutralise your acoustic environment in a controlled, effective manner.
