Bonus Room to Project Studio! Nick Lane Mastering
Posted by Acoustics First in Absorption, Customer Feedback, Diffusion, DIY, Recording Studio on February 23, 2017
Nick Lane, an independent audio engineer whose credits include Rascal Flatts and Reba McEntire, contacted Acoustics First® seeking help with his project studio. This process would convert the bonus room in his house (a second floor space above his garage) into a Project Studio.
After receiving some measurements and photos, we went to work designing a layout for the space.

Placement of panels and ceiling clouds were optimized to reduce early reflections and trap bass, and a combination of Model D’s and C’S were used to widen the “sweet spot” of his room.
“Sounds really good!….. High end is sooo much less harsh…… walking around the room, the low-end doesn’t disappear in places anymore” – Nick Lane
Acoustics First® makes sound Visible!
Posted by Acoustics First in Diffusion, Product Applications, Products, Uncategorized, Video on November 18, 2016
As many of you know, Acoustics First® invests a great deal of energy in the development of the science of acoustics. Here are three ways that we are making advances that help people learn and actually Visualize acoustics!
Those interested in sound diffusers have certainly noticed that Acoustics First® has produced a Diffuser Data book, containing all kinds of test data about how our diffusers contribute to the sound in your space. This information is a great advancement and we have worked closely with the ASTM committee developing this test method. Some people wonder exactly how the test produces the data that we report, and we have developed a simulation to show exactly how the sound energy is sampled during this test.
If you download the Diffuser Data booklet, you can see a picture of the gigantic test arc at NWAA Labs which is used for the real world tests.

We have also made leaps and bounds in using simulations to show the different ways that diffusion develops in a space. Depending on the type and placement of the diffusers you install, the diffuse field will develop at different speeds, at different frequencies. We can now show a couple of simulations of the development of a diffuse field to help you visualize how sound moves in room without treatment and with two different sets of diffuser treatments.

Bonus video! Imagine being able to see the Untreated room and the Model D room from a different angle – To be able to move around the outside of the room and see how the sound field develops from a different perspective. Imagine no more! Here it is!

We hope these helped you to “look” at acoustics in a whole new way, and stay tuned – more advancements are coming soon!

ArtDiffusor® – MicroModel D – Big Sound, Small Package
Posted by Acoustics First in Articles, Press Release, Uncategorized on April 1, 2016
With current trends leaning toward improving the quality of life for all creatures living on our great planet, we at Acoustics First® feel that we can contribute to this in our own small way.
So we proudly introduce, the ArtDiffusor® – Micro Model D!
Beaker says, “It really helps to control unwanted specular reflections and flutter echos!”
Birds are very musical creatures, in the past, while Beaker was listening to the Bee Gees, he was bombarded with harsh specular reflections and flutter echos, it was a tragedy – but no longer.
Beaker tweets, “After installing my Micro Model D, Barry’s falsetto is so much clearer – It’s Amazing!”
Harsh acoustic environments are not for the birds… The ArtDiffusor®- Micro Model D… is.
Rapid Prototyping – Designing the future… Now!

As the summer of 2015 winds down, we here at Acoustics First thought we’d share our latest acquisition with our readers.
The GigaBot™ by re:3D. Or as we call it “The GiggleBot!”
Meet the Gigabot™
(or as we call him “Gigglebot”).
This amazing large format 3D printer was developed by re:3D, an outstanding company whose principals come from varied backgrounds which include experience working at NASA, among other things.
The eight cubic foot build volume of this beast makes it ideal for the rapid development and prototyping of our industry leading sound diffusers! We look forward to using this wonderful device on many projects in the years to come.
Watch this short video we made during one of our trial runs. For this calibration test we chose to print a scaled down version of our patented Model D Art Diffusor®.
Who said manufacturing was boring?!?!
