Home Cinema & Theater Acoustics & Sound Proofing

From boomy bass to poor sound-staging, acoustic issues can wreck the audio experience. Mandi Acoustics has both the expertise and the tools to solve all your audio issues.

We have seen expensive audio equipment placed in a room that is entirely hard wood floors, brick walls, plywood, gypsum, and glass throughout. The effect is a highly muddled, boomy, echoing, fluttering listening experience with generally disappointing sound quality.

Ever wonder why speakers sound better (clearer highs and tighter bass response) on the store showroom than they do at home? The answer is the room. This is why AV stores always take you into a special listening room to test the speakers; it is an acoustically tuned space! Mandi Acoustics can help you bring that experience home.

We follow a three step process:

Room Isolation

By minimizing sound pockets and vibrations in your home cinema, we give you the fullest possible dynamic range (that’s the difference between the softest and loudest sounds you can hear). Any common window treatments should be given careful thought. A full vertical window should have a double pane glass assembly, each pane of glass to help combat a different frequency pitch of noise, and the panes should be separated by an argon gas fill. We also recommend the use of track lighting in your studio (if you have finished ceilings) rather than recessed lights. Any recess lighting will create new flanking paths for noise to bleed in and out of your room. Minimize the holes you need to cut into your surrounding walls and ceiling. If you have a drop grid ceiling tile system, anchor a set of Ceiling Caps atop your ceiling tiles to deaden sound bleed.
Room Acoustical Analysis

We measure and model your room in cutting-edge acoustic modellers like Ease & Odeon to understand the acoustic issues you’re facing. Then we develop solutions and review them with you. You’ll understand the causes of your room’s issues, how its acoustics compare to best practices, and you’ll receive a written acoustic analysis report.
Low Frequency Optimization

To isolate one room noise from the next, you need to disconnect the rooms from each other using high density material. This “density + disconnection” sound proofing formula is the only one that works. Our proprietary layering system achieve 90% reduction in sound bleed through common surfaces. If you have a drop ceiling grid system, our high Ceiling Tiles and GeoWool can also achieve isolation for ceilings. Any common window treatments should be given careful thought. A full vertical window should have a double pane glass assembly, each pane of glass to help combat a different frequency pitch of noise, and the panes should be separated by an argon gas fill.

2D & 3D Home Theater Designs

Our home theater design process begins with analysis of sight lines and speaker coverage. Using your requirements on how the theater will be used and which elements to include, we arrange seating, speakers, subwoofers, and the video system. The layout will meet both your needs and industry standards, and we provide a CAD schematic showing component placements with full 3D design to ensure that you know exactly what you’re getting before you start your build. If you’re planning to self-build a HIFI home cinema installation, don’t worry – you’re in good company! It is estimated that you can recover your entire investment in two years by just avoiding commercial cinema halls, and once you’ve built a high quality home cinema room, statistics show that you will cut down commercial cinema visits by 90%. Home cinemas require much more than the typical room acoustics of residential spaces. Reverberation and disturbing background noise reduce the listening experience, to say nothing of unwanted noise pollution for the neighbours. Nonetheless, home cinema sound insulation and home cinema soundproofing is quite simple with professional tools. If you want to improve your home cinema sound you can bring professional quality to your home theatre ambience by perfectly matching the positioning of the room’s loudspeakers, sound and seating position.
Audio Design

Your professionally engineered audio system begins with a thorough understanding of the ways in which you will use the system. To determine the source, signal processing, amplification, speaker, and subwoofer components not only to full-fill your requirements and meet industry standards, but also to get you the best sound quality for your budget.
