IAC LAUNCHES
‘GREEN’ VOICE-OVER BOOTH AT IBC 2005
 IAC of Winchester, UK is bringing what is believed to be the world’s
first ‘green’ Voice-Over Booth to Stand 11.539 at IBC 2005
in Amsterdam, 9-13 September.
Developed at IAC’s R&D
facility in New York, USA, post industrial organic fibre is used as an
environmentally-friendly acoustic infill within the Booth’s structural
panels. The infill is sourced in the UK.
IAC Voice-Over Booths, as well
as full-scale studios and editing suites etc., are all constructed using
the company’s patented ‘Moduline’ system. Acoustically-rated,
modular acoustic panels form the walls, floors, ceilings. Each panel is
100mm thick and filled with the green infill that itself delivers a range
of ‘green’ benefits: the manufacturing process uses far less
energy than the fibreglass insulation alternative and it has mostly recycled
content. It is non-toxic, and fire-, fungi-, and corrosion resistant;
and, importantly, it provides equivalent acoustic and thermal performance.
The Moduline panels are fabricated
from steel face sheets and are acoustically and structurally joined together
in a way that ensures the acoustic integrity of the Booth is maintained.
An IAC acoustic Noise-Lock®
door and window are used in the Booth, all preserving the acoustic performance
of the environment. The door has two sets of self-aligning magnetic seals
and a bevelled floor threshold with double compression seals; the windows
are either double or quadruple glazed.
The Green Booth comes with
a silent ventilation system supplying 25 litres of air per second and
full electrics and an access point for technical wiring. With fabric covered
walls, stylish carpets and finish, the Green Voice-Over Booth is an essential
requirement for any broadcasting operation.
Six standard models are available
although the more usual procedure is that Booths are customised in order
to best fit the customer’s premises and particular acoustic requirements.
Ian Rich is IAC’s Business
Manager for Studios: “Large or small, almost every project that
we have ever undertaken anywhere has included a Voice-Over Booth. With
‘green’ issues high on everyone’s agenda these days,
this ‘green’ option is set to be a real winner from the outset.”
A world leader in acoustics
and the design and build of broadcasting studios, IAC has been building
radio and TV studios for most of the world’s top broadcasters since
1949 and has consistently led the field in terms of design innovation
and turnkey capabilities.
