Room Acoustics & Noise Control | Design & Consultation

Since 2010, acoustician and founder Zac Marcengill, has designed 120+ custom studio spaces and provided consultation for 200+ music studios, theaters, restaurants, offices, and houses of worship. Our range of services are focused within the practice of room acoustics and noise control (a.k.a. soundproofing or sound isolation). Founded from a desire to provide the knowledge and documentation needed to acoustically treat and sound isolate any space, we continue to provide services that help our clients develop a comprehensive and wholistic plan that builds confidence in every decision, provides the highest ROI, and reduces the overall cost of each project. We work on existing spaces and ground up builds, from bedroom studios to professional, world-class, multi-studio facilities.

Critical Listening Rooms

Direct monitor sound without unwanted color from room reflections and resonance. Translation is paramount. Send off mixes from your studio space with confidence that they will translate in any environment. Less fighting against your rooms natural acoustics means you will work faster, with a higher level of quality with every mix, a likely a faster track toward your career goals.

Precise Tracking Environments

Tracking rooms are the most unique and varied tool in music production. Each one has its own unique character, sound, and vibe. With this often comes many unwanted sonic characteristics and a lack of versatility. Whether it's a room with a specific purpose or an all-in-one environment, we guide you through each room's design or remodeling choices to create a space that looks, feels, and sounds how you want it to.

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.
