Room Acoustics & Noise Control | Design & Consultation

Since 2010, Zac Marcengill, our acoustician and principal, has designed and consulted for over 450 diverse spaces including music and podcast studios, luxury homes, cinemas, restaurants, offices, schools, religious venues, and government facilities.
-
Our services specialize in room acoustics and sound isolation, driven by our commitment to deliver expert knowledge and precise documentation. We aim to empower our clients with comprehensive plans that ensure confidence in every decision, maximize ROI, and minimize project costs.
-
We handle projects ranging from bedroom studios to professional, world-class multi-studio facilities, including both renovations and new constructions.

Precise Acoustic Environments

Spaces that require precise acoustics are often music studios, cinema theaters and listening rooms. Whether the goal is accurate monitoring, natural tracking, or the best listening environment, proper room acoustics and sound isolation design are critical elements that are often overlooked and mismanaged. These listening and recording environments require direct speaker sound without room coloration from room reflections and resonance to produce clarity, and to allow mixes to translate to other spaces and listening medium. This speeds up workflow, prevents constantly fighting the room and produces professional results.

Room Acoustics for Architectural Projects

Hiring an acoustician brings specialized expertise to your projects, ensuring optimal acoustic performance and aesthetic integration. Collaborating with an acoustician from the start can prevent costly modifications and enhance the functionality of spaces, from enhancing speech intelligibility in public venues to perfecting sound isolation in private areas. We provide precise acoustic measurements and tailored solutions, aligning with architectural designs and client expectations. This partnership not only elevates the project's quality but also enhances user satisfaction, making it a sound investment for any construction or renovation project aimed at delivering superior results.

Noise Control

Noise control, sound isolation, or soundproofing, is a complex and often over-complicated practice of preventing unwanted sound from leaving or entering a specific space. All soundproofing products promise unparalleled performance, making it hard to know which product to trust and if they integrate with other noise control products. Simply put, we make noise control simple. With over a decade of experience, we know what works, what doesn't, and why. We'll help you find the correct products and construction methods for the level of sound isolation you need so you don't under-build or over-spend on noise control.

Plans & Support

We fill the gap between the client and the contractor. Contractors know how to build things, and they reference a set of construction drawings to ensure every detail of the project is planned well and executed. They typically get these drawings from an architect specializing in structural integrity, ergonomics, and aesthetics, not sound isolation and room acoustics. That's where we come in. We provide the construction method drawings and the support the contractor needs to complete a project with specific noise control and room acoustic specifications.

Client Testimonials

Zac expertly assisted us in our ground up Studio build. His knowledge about soundproofing, acoustic properties, clean power, parallel spaces, heating and air, etc. were instrumental to creating a highly usable space. It turned out so much better than we could have imagined. The acoustic treatment was the icing on the cake. With an endless amount of design choices and fabrics, we were able to create a space that was aesthetically pleasing and as well as terrific to listen and record. Highly recommended!!

Victor Krauss

Bassist/Composer/Producer

I have worked with Zac on treating two different studios now and he has done a great job on both! Him and the team are professional and know how to make any room sound great!

AJ Pruis

Multi #1 Songwriter / Composer / Multi-Instrumentalist

I was extremely pleased with the results of my studio design and consult with Zac. May clients have been impressed with the layout and quality of the design in our small home studio. Zac made the best use of the space available. The investment we put into designing the space was definitely worth it. Without Zac, I would be literally guessing and designing the space myself. There is no way it would have turned out nearly as good without his help.

Will Mason

Founder of Mason Music Studios - Birmingham, AL

Zac worked with us a couple times to provide acoustic treatments as well as help design our rooms. Throughout both projects he was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Dax Hock

Founder of Traega Entertainment

I can’t say enough about Audio Virtue Acoustics and the room Zac designed for me. I wanted a room that sounded great, but that didn’t look like every other studio out there. The design he came back with absolutely blew me away. It was unique, warm, vibey, everything you’d want in a studio space. He came in under budget and provided me with very detailed and easy-to-follow installation documents and a comprehensive materials list. The finished product exceeded my expectations and has been an absolute game-changer for me. It sounds perfect and looks incredible. It’s a joy working in my room on a daily basis.

Matt Arcaini

Director of A&R at Soundstripe

Zac and Audio Virtue Acoustics solved a huge echo problem in our office by 110%. We work in an industrial-style commercial building with concrete floors and a metal roof which looks cool but creates many sound issues. Zac analyzed our problem areas and presented us with design solutions unique to the room. His initial consultation was very informative and was much more in-depth than any of the other quotes we received. We decided to go with Zac because of his professionalism and his eye for design. We are extremely happy with how everything turned out and how our developers can work in peace without hearing each other's thoughts.
