Acoustic research and software development firm REDIacoustics introduced a new, affordable acoustic design and optimization solution for rectangular spaces during CEDIA Expo 2024. Created with home theater and listening room designers in mind, and perfectly suited for AV integrators, the new ROCS (Room Optimization for Cuboid Spaces) service offers an affordable predictive acoustic analysis tool, providing basic room geometric optimizing and speaker / listener position guidelines for rectangular spaces.
ROCS is an evolution of the company’s AI-powered NIRO [Non-Cuboid Iterative Room Optimizer] acoustic design process that streamlines its fundamental aspects for more straightforward room geometries and affordability. Developed by the company’s co-founder and founder of RPG Diffusor Systems Peter D’Antonio in collaboration with John Storyk of WSDG, and PK Pandey of AVN SYS, ROCS is intended for those who have the flexibility to alter their room dimensions, whether constructing a new space or considering significant renovations.
“Utilizing a potent combination of time-tested studio design techniques and AI algorithms, REDIacoustic’s NIRO has already been used to optimize acoustic conditions in over 200 high-end critical listening spaces around the world. REDIacoustics’ new range of accessible acoustic optimization services break these concepts into easily digestible and actionable steps that make it easier than ever to understand and implement. The REDIacoustics approach benefits from over forty years of acoustic experience within some of the world’s most celebrated listening spaces – from recording studios, to theaters and high-end listening rooms,” says Peter D’Antonio. “Having affordable options has always been a goal for REDIacoustics as a company, and our new services allow us to share these experiences with people looking for simple, more cost-effective solutions that can be implemented in their spaces today.”
Targeted for acoustic design of critical listening spaces, ROCS meticulously adjusts the dimensions of a rectangular room and calibrates the positions of both sound sources and the listening area. The result is a frequency response characterized by an even modal distribution, minimal pressure nulls, and reduced SBIR. One of the standout features of the product is its ability to minimize the spatial deviation of low-frequency response across the listening area, ensuring that bass frequencies are evenly distributed.
In addition to offering these new acoustic design services, REDiacoustics has created an Acoustic Treatment Calculator that can be used for free on the firm’s website to get a preview of the possibilities that room optimization can offer within a given space. “With the boom in home recording and content creation, more people than ever before are using rooms in their homes and offices as critical listening spaces,” adds PK Pandey, another company co-founder. “Ultimately we’re looking to demystify acoustics and educate the public on how easy it can be to be on the path to a better sounding room with the implementation of a few simple techniques. Excellent sounding rooms are not just for multi-million dollar recording studios anymore – we want people to know that you can implement these solutions anywhere,” he adds.
