 Audio
Design Process |

"Natural
sound that is easily understood
and evenly
distributed"
Natural sound is a very simple request,
but sometimes not an easy task. Sound
system design
is a complex process.
Our design
experts are up to the task... using
the science of acoustics
to create
audio
solutions that meet acoustical
standards and our clients needs.

Are these the comments
made about your
present sound system?
- “Our
sound system squeals whenever we
try
to turn up the
volume.”
- “I
can't understand
what is being said.”
- “It
seems much louder in the center
of
the room than
it
does along the sides.”
These
types of symptoms are
indications that the speaker system (old
or new) was not
designed for the room it is being used
in. Audio system
design is a complex process that combines
operational expectations,
room acoustics, aesthetics, electronics
and mechanics. When properly approached,
audio system
design is a process that can result in
a total media experience. |

State-of-the-Art
Design
Guaranteeing
performance before it is built...
Thompson
Electronics uses Goldline Speech
Intelligibility and Privacy Measurement
System, manufactured by Goldline
Instruments to give precise measurements
in designing audio systems. These
measurements are
used to quantify the intelligibility
of sound systems. We
also utilize several other computer
design programs to speed up the design
process and verify calculations. These programs allow us to guarantee
the performance of the proposed system prior to installation. What
do we check :
- Accurate analysis of the rooms acoustics.
- Speaker selection and proper location.
- Prediction of consistency in coverage of sound.
- Prediction of intelligibility.

Specifications
When designing a system, there are several design criteria that
we focus on as primary concerns:
Intelligibility
Consistency in sound coverage for the
desired seating area
Adequate sound
pressure level without distortion or feedback
Naturalness
These are
specifications that can be calculated in the design process
and
then measured after the system is installed. Our designs
always include guaranteed performance
specifications, indicating how
well the proposed system will work.
These specifications are based on
industry standards for sound performance and vary depending
on the performance and operational
needs of the system.
