Acoustics / systems case study

A L P H A B E T, Brighton, UK

Stage, ceiling, resonators, room.

A L P H A B E T is an acoustic and technical environment shaped through stage construction, layered insulation, vibration control, CAD-designed Helmholtz resonators and overhead diffusion. The case study makes the end-to-end acoustic brief clear.

Brief

Shape A L P H A B E T as a live-music environment — stage, ceiling, resonators and room working together as one acoustic and technical brief.

  • Live music venue, Brighton
  • End-to-end acoustic and technical delivery
  • Cross-division proof for AV Systems and Acoustics

Challenge

Build a performance room where stage construction, vibration control, tuned absorption and diffusion must work together — without compromising the character of a dedicated live-music space.

  • Stage and structural vibration paths
  • Layered insulation and reflection control
  • Tuned resonators for room behaviour
  • Ceiling and overhead diffusion planning

Technical solution

Soundfangled delivered stage construction, layered insulation, concrete sections to reduce vibration, CAD-designed Helmholtz resonators, ceiling-rigged resonators and randomised wooden block diffusion.

  • Stage construction
  • Layered insulation
  • Concrete sections to reduce vibration
  • CAD-designed Helmholtz resonators
  • Ceiling-rigged resonators
  • Randomised wooden block diffusion
  • End-to-end delivery and commissioning

Outcome

A purpose-built live-music acoustic environment with installed technical scope documented for publication.
