The Arding Rooms Podcast Studio for X+Why, Clapham Junction.
The podcast room posed significant acoustic problems requiring careful planning to control the space. Multiple solutions where needed to control issues across the frequency spectrum, including wall panneling, hanging cloud, corner bass traps and acoustic curtains. Onsite building was necessary due to access restrictions via the narrow stairwell. The clients brief was tied to the historical elements within the room and building.
Results where excellent providing a balanced acoustic environment for audio and aesthetically pleasing visual elements for video.
