GRAND OPENING OF IAC ACOUSTIC LABS AT SALFORD UNIVERSITY
The University of Salford’s £2.5M state-of-the art acoustics laboratories held its Grand Opening on 25th October. The full anechoic chamber supplied by world-leader IAC Limited, played host to choristers from Salford Cathedral who ably demonstrated how the chamber could make them sound as if they were in their cathedral.
The Chamber’s lining of foam wedges is ideal for the general purpose testing of the mid- to high frequencies typically generated by high spec electronic equipment rather than choristers!
The event hit the headlines and the story was covered by the Manchester Evening News, one of the UK’s largest regional daily newspapers.
Ian Rich, Sales Manager Studio Products, attended the Grand Opening along with over 100 other distinguished guests. “It’s great that IAC’s expertise and technology is contributing to such world-leading facilities. Choristers in a chamber was a first for me, but it certainly got the message across!”
Professor Andy Moorhouse is the facility director: "These labs are unique. [..] here we combine research, teaching and enterprise - working for industry. We integrate those strands in a way no one else does. …I've been to laboratories all over the world but there's nowhere like this."
In total IAC supplied one Full Anechoic Chamber, two Semi-Anechoic Chambers – both super-quiet environments designed to absorb echoes and muffle sound - and an acoustic suite of four Recording Studios with Control Rooms.
