I created an acoustics blog to share our experiences
We gained our knowledge while using acoustic measurement and sound-absorbing panels. We constantly visit the studios, cinemas and hi-fi rooms, offices. Meanwhile, we meet a lot of rooms, equipment, and people. Each room promises different challenges.
As we overcome these problems, we also learn. There are different problems in each room. Drawing from these, I describe our experience. What is right and what is not? What should be used in a room and what should not? What materials to use, what to put where, and what mistakes you should not make.
Many people gain knowledge about forums and other places, which can, unfortunately, be very deceptive. There are no stone-carving rules in acoustics. That is why it is very difficult to determine what is right and what is not. Plenty of experience is needed to eliminate an anomaly.
Room acoustics are essential to achieve good sound.
Therefore, what in most cases is a truck with a variety of acoustic elements:
diffusers
sound absorbing panels
basszuscsapdák and we go to the scene with other sound-absorbing elements. Here, we arrange the rooms with continuous measurement to create the most optimal sound. SzG
Covid19. A name that no one is unfamiliar with today. The virus that turned the world upside down. The world we had grown accustomed to, used to, forgotten. Nothing is the same today as it once was. Everything has changed. Fear, anxiety, and uncertainty have descended like a fog on Read more…

A sound is a form of energy. It can be produced, moved, carried out, distributed over time and distance, and carried a huge amount of energy. It only sounds as long as there is energy in the system to keep it running. It is best defined as something audible. It Read more…
Why use a wall panel? The wall panel mostly serves as a sound absorber, but some types can also be used as diffusers. Therefore, they can be divided into several categories. Broadband wall panels Acoustic diffusers Leather membrane wall panels. Diffuser front wall panels Their use depends largely on the Read more…

The unfortunate exception is an echo, which is a single word, and which alone makes it impossible to express exactly what type of echo we are talking about.

Surely everyone is aware of the importance of insulation for the walls and roof structure of houses. However, many people pay enough attention to thermal insulation alone, and sound insulation is somehow out of the spectrum. However, the two are not so far apart, as most materials used in thermal Read more…

Dynamics in the music, are what we are going to explore today. It is one of the most important elements of music or one of the most important musical elements. Nevertheless, my experience has been that we care little about it and the way we care is wrong. It is typically confused by many with sound level and sound pressure. It seems to be controversial but if we want to give a short definition: “the doctrine of sound level in the music”.
…where are then the hidden details?
Until around the middle of the 18th century (baroque music), nobody had made any written notice with such indications either in sheet music or in other writings, consequently, the musicians had decided themselves on the use and emphasis thereof.
The bottom line is that:
Dynamics is one of the most important tools of musical manipulation. Dynamics has much to do also with the rhythm, and counterpoint is the primary essence of every dynamics.
The sound itself cannot be too loud or quiet therefore the sound level can always be felt compared to another sound. In other words, dynamics is the difference between the sound levels of quiet and loud sounds, and also the extent and the length of the silence between two sounds are very important.
Formerly the gradual increase in the volume of a musical passage (so-called “crescendo”) and the gradual decrease in volume of a musical passage (so-called “decrescendo) had been formed in music. Baroque music uses dynamics to a less extent and moderately, however, classical music is very rich in dynamic effects.
Dynamics can be both steady and volatile, or gradually increasing and sudden, explosive. By the nature of music, dynamics is not an exact quantity, it is rather a subjective notion, it depends among others on the physical distance between the performer and the audience, the acoustics of the venue, the type of the sound source (instrument, singer or performer) and last but not least the unique concept of the composer, musician and the listener.
A lot of variants of dynamics can be observed in the music chosen for today. We can find gradual, volatile, and also fast, explosive types of dynamics. One thing is for sure, it is the sensational guitar playing.
Equalizer room correction Purpose of the Equalizer A huge number of debates and articles have dealt with this topic in the last 100 years. But the facts do not change.
