Renovating a broadcast studio is a daunting task – technically, financially, and logistically.  Amidst the chaos, it is possible for certain things to fall through the cracks – even important things.  As the student run station at NC State University began their renovation, they were focused on doing it right, and not letting important elements go unaddressed.

When Jamie Lynn Gilbert, the Associate Director of Student Media and Adviser to WKNC 88.1, contacted Acoustics First they were finishing up an extensive renovation of the HD-2 studio and were looking for some Sonora® Acoustic Panels as the “final touch.”  The end result was the frosting on the cake of this renovation, and the impact, both acoustically and aesthetically, was quite evident – even to their consulting engineer on the project.

So evident, in fact, that just a month later, Jamie was back in contact with Acoustics First® to get nearly identical treatment for their production studio as they completed its renovation as well…
