IAC America’s Laboratory tests ‘for fun and profit’
Bronx, NY (July 28) -- IAC America’s Aero-Acoustic Laboratory has been measuring the absorption of theater seats – an example cited whilst carrying out their ‘for fun and profit’ promotional campaign.
For many years IAC America’s Aero-Acoustic Laboratory has been -and still is - used to develop the many products we are familiar with. We have recently been promoting the use of our aero-acoustic laboratory to test products ‘for fun and profit’.
Architects and acoustical engineers often need to know the sound absorption properties of materials used in theaters to determine acoustical quality of the performance space. Items such as carpet, curtains and chairs significantly affect the parameters such as reverberation time, diffusivity and first reflection time.
Supporting a renovation at a music centre in the city, a local acoustical consultant asked us to measure the absorption characteristics of the existing theater seats as well as those of the new seats that were to be used for the renovation.
IAC America’s Laboratory Testing Service not only allows us opportunities to cultivate good relationships with acoustic consultants but it also helps us to keep our ears to the ground regarding the events and developments in the acoustical world.
