TALKING BOOKS CHARITY CHOOSES IAC STUDIO SUITE
 The Royal National Institute for Blind People – RNIB – in Cardiff, is purchasing three IAC studios to expand their Talking Books service from its present provision of 14,000 audio books.
Over 2 million people in the UK have sight loss and last year the RNIB sent out two million audio books to 41,000 people and added 450 books to their stock. The new IAC studios will mean even more books to benefit and entertain visually impaired people.
 The RNIB works with professional actors, authors and many volunteer narrators to bring audio books to life. IAC’s studios will be used for these recordings and will be accessible to people with sight problems.
The studios are being designed using IAC’s Moduline prefabricated acoustic panels, which form the floor, walls and roofs. The studios will have full air conditioning, carpets and stretch fabric wall covering.
Ian Rich is IAC’s studios manager: “This is the latest in a number of similar jobs we’ve done for the RNIB over the years at their centres in London, Peterborough, Tarporley in Cheshire and Ivybridge in Devon. It’s great that IAC is helping Talking Books in this way – they are also enjoyed by sighted people, of course, especially those who spend a lot of time on the road, like me!”
