Acoustics 101What many people may not realize is that a $100 audio system with good room acoustics will sound better than a $10,000 system in a poor acoustic environment." Here at Technature, we are NUTS about acoustics. And since you are here, we figured that you may be a little interested as well. We believe that acoustic treatment is crucial to bring out the potential in the audio equipment that you may have either at home and at work. What many people may not realize is that a $100 audio system with good room acoustics will sound better than a $10,000 system in a poor acoustic environment. That being said, the $10,000 system will definitely knock your socks off in a studio-grade acoustic enclosure. The goal of this section of our website is to equip our readers with a strong foundation of acoustic knowledge, so as to help you make the best possible decisions to obtain the best acoustic experience. Oh, and did we mention that we love acoustics? Our Acoustics 101 section has the information you need to do the job right, and, if well implemented, the finished room will exceed your expectations without breaking the bank. This Acoustics 101 section is a cumulation of the knowledge we have gained over our nearly three decades of experience in studio design, music and acoustics architecture.
