Acoustical Engineering and Acoustics of a Room

When it comes to home theaters, acoustical engineering is crucial. With 30 years of providing room acoustic treatment services, Rives Audio recognizes the importance of providing information about the acoustics of a room and assistance that allows clients to achieve the sound proofing they desire. Because they have a lot of experience, their services are on high demand. Rives Audio designs up to 40 rooms per month. This is  more than most companies do in a year. The rooms are beautiful, functional, and offer top of the line sound performance. Rives Audio specializes in all types of acoustical engineering including  small room acoustic treatment services, listening rooms, media rooms, home theater room design, and home theater sound proofing. It is common for people to own high quality stereo equipment, but suffer from interference and poor sound quality. With a room acoustic treatment by Rives Audio, a customer can get the most out of their sound system.  Rives Audio does not use pre-designed sound system solutions. They prefer to provide entertainment room acoustic treatment systems that are unique to each client and in line with their individual preferences and styles. They figure, no two clients are the same, so no two rooms should look the same. The only thing that will be identical is that the acoustical engineering will  be top of the line in each of the rooms that Rives Audio works on. They offer three levels of services in order to work on the acoustics of a room, regardless of the client’s budget. The levels are called Entry, Custom, and Ultimate. At all three levels, Rives Audio makes it their priority is to develop an acoustically rewarding change in the listening environment. They take into consideration the constraints that each individual client may have. For example: a limited number of square feet available, existing structures, aesthetics, or the  overall cost, may effect the plan for the individual client’s acoustical engineering. They strive to come up with the most effective and fitting room acoustic treatment for all three levels of services. Even at the entry level Rives Audio takes the unique customer situations into account.  When they are working on the acoustics of a room they take into account noise control, sound isolation, and environmental acoustics to the interior acoustics. They do this through the use of PARC (parametric adaptive room compensation). The PARC is a three band parametric equalizer. It is designed to achieve home theater sound proofing by getting rid of room modes and compensating for bass peaks. The room must be measured acoustically using audio software tools.  This includes the use of a calibrated microphones and implementation of software such as ETF and BARE. The Rives Audio Company provides acoustical engineering to customers all around the world, from all different backgrounds, for a variety of uses, with a wide array of budgets.  A room acoustic treatment can dramatically improve a home theater. It is important to remember that sometimes the stereo equipment is not what is causing interference. Rather than continuously investing in better and better sound equipment, it is another option to contact Rives Audio for a room acoustic treatment.

This system is so advanced and so well received in the media and audio community it was awarded Sterophiles’ 2003 Product of the Year Award, which is saying a lot. Of this two-channel, three-band parametric equalizer with Parametric Adaptive Room Compensation (PARC), KR said, "The PARC was completely transparent in both the critical midrange and the revealing treble range," while in the lower midrange and bass, "the PARC was changing the sound, as intended." Deep male voices were "always firmer, better defined harmonically and spatially, and easier to distinguish musically." Large and complex passages of music were also improved: "I realized that, although there was no sapping of energy, there was a greatly enhanced facility to hear more of what was going on within the orchestra. PRaT (Phase, Rhythm, and Timing) fans will appreciate what PARC does to delineate the pulse and meter of the music." Kal Rubinson, Stereophile.
