Let’s Get Loud!
Allan Kirschner from Quiet Rock will give us an introduction to the fundaments of how sound works and why you should care. Understand why sound is important to humans, how sound works,
and its perception to occupants, and resulting consequences.
Dave Gilbert (IFDA PA) and Bob Turgeon from Bravas
will cut through the noise with sound damping interiors and the right mix of professionally designed audio systems.
Sound (audio) is perceived in differing ways by different people.
On one end of the spectrum some folks just don’t like louder sound and at the other end folks like it louder but it needs to be clean and intelligible otherwise it’s painful. In both cases it has to sound good.
How do we determine and address this?
