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.
