Client Goals

Our client is building his 2 channel audio room, but it is also a family / den area in the house. He wants it to have an inviting feel and be completely relaxed. Thus, we must design a room that is acoustically outstanding without showing any acoustical treatment.

The room is somewhat small and has a room mode problem. We carefully use bookcases to house a Helmholtz resonator. The back half of the ceiling is fabric covered and houses a large acoustical trap. The wainscoting houses both absorption and diffusion panels.

The end result is one that no one would suspect was ever designed by an acoustical engineering group--until they hear the sound!
Client Quotes
"Well it's been quite a while now since my music room has been complete, but I wanted you to know how happy my family and I are with the results."

"My experience with you and Rives Audio has left me with another element to consider when having these client discussions; namely acoustics! After hearing and feeling the results of a room properly treated for sound, I will always consider acoustic treatments for not only music and home theaters, but any room people congregate in to talk."

"Richard thanks for helping me with my music room. The best proof of its success is that it's everybody's favorite place in my home!"
