Electro-Acoustic
Standards that shape sound insulation design
Speech Intelligibility
Every system is modelled and tuned to meet STI thresholds, so announcements and spoken word remain clear and understandable throughout the space.
3D Acoustic Modelling
Predictive modelling identifies coverage gaps, reflections and dead spots before any speaker or amplifier is installed, reducing the risk of costly rework.
BS EN 60849 Compliance
Voice alarm systems are designed and verified against the British and European standard for emergency sound systems, satisfying fire authority and building control requirements.
System Commissioning
On-site verification confirms that real-world speech intelligibility and sound coverage match the original design targets before handover.
Our areas of expertise
Commissioning & Verification
Post-construction acoustic commissioning and verification confirms that completed buildings and installed systems achieve their specified performance targets and satisfy planning conditions, BREEAM requirements and client acceptance criteria.
Sound System Design
Sound reinforcement and distributed audio system design for hospitality, leisure, retail and performing arts venues specifies loudspeaker layouts and system parameters to achieve the coverage uniformity, intelligibility and tonal quality required for the intended use.
Venue & Auditorium Design
Acoustic design for entertainment venues, performance spaces, theatres, nightclubs and bars addresses both the internal acoustic quality and the noise breakout performance required to satisfy planning conditions, licensing authorities and neighbouring receptors.
System Optimisation and Tuning
Measurement-led optimisation of installed sound systems corrects equalisation, delay alignment and level distribution to achieve the coverage uniformity and tonal balance the original design intended and the operator's programme requires.
Sound Limiter
Sound limiter specification and commissioning establishes the highest operating level that keeps amplified music within planning conditions and Environmental Health criteria, without making the venue acoustically unworkable for operators and performers.

Questions
Find answers to common questions about our acoustic services and process.
Early in the design phase, before construction decisions are locked in. Acoustic problems are hardest and most expensive to fix after the fact. We help you avoid costly mistakes by addressing sound quality from the start.
We design to relevant British and international standards including BS 8233, ISO 3382, and BS EN 60849. Standards vary by building type and use, and we select the right ones for your project.
Timeline depends on project scope. A small office assessment might take weeks. A large venue design can span months. We work within your construction schedule and provide clear milestones at each phase.
Yes. We assess what's wrong, test solutions, and recommend treatments that fit your budget and constraints. Retrofits are often more complex than new design, but improvements are usually achievable.
We measure and verify that completed spaces meet design targets and regulatory requirements. Post-construction testing confirms the work was done right and gives you documented proof of compliance.
