AV integration
The system, tuned to the room.
Speaker levels, timing, bass integration and room correction — set up and checked by measurement.
The problem
Every room changes how a system sounds.
Without calibration, speakers can be mismatched in level and timing, subwoofers can cancel each other at the main seat, and automatic room correction can make poor decisions from limited measurements.
How we approach it
A method, not a product list.

Measure
Responses at the listening positions with a calibrated measurement microphone.
- 02
Integrate the bass
Subwoofer placement, phase and crossover settings for smooth bass across the seats.
- 03
Set levels and timing
Every channel matched in level and delay at the listening area.
- 04
Correct where it helps
Room correction and equalisation applied selectively, not as a cure-all.
- 05
Verify and document

Questions
Common questions
Isn't the automatic setup in my AV receiver enough?
Automatic setup is a useful starting point, but it can't move speakers or subwoofers, and it relies on the measurements it is given. Manual measurement and adjustment usually get closer to what the room can achieve.
Can calibration fix a room with poor acoustics?
Only partly. Equalisation can reduce some problems, but it can't remove long reverberation or deep bass nulls. Those need acoustic treatment and good placement first.

Acoustic design
We model the room, set acoustic targets, design the treatment and measure the result — for home theatres, auditoriums, conference rooms and studios.
AV integration
We specify, install and integrate AV systems as part of an engineered room — equipment chosen for the space, not the other way round.
