ALconsulting

For delivering the desired sound and effective AV solution, and minimizing unwanted noise and vibration, ALgruppe can help.

ABOUT THE SERVICE

Space and systems, designed togetherFrom integrated architectural and electroacoustic design to video and lighting systems

We start by defining how the space will be used and operated, then turn that into measurable targets, such as reverberation time, background noise and sound insulation, that become the basis of the design.

We test options with site measurements and 3D acoustic simulation, and design the architectural acoustics and the audio-visual systems together from the outset. Construction supervision, commissioning measurements and system tuning confirm the targets on site, followed by operator training.

WHAT WE DO

What we do

01 Room acoustics ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS Room shape, volume and finishes designed to match reverberation and clarity to the use, with sound insulation designed for walls, floors and ceilings. Designed, measured and supervised to Korean and international standards.
02 Sound systems · AV AUDIO · VISUAL SYSTEMS Audio, video and lighting systems from needs analysis through design, specification, construction supervision and post-completion performance checks, designed with the architectural acoustics as expandable infrastructure.
03 Control systems CONTROL PROGRAMMING Control systems designed and programmed so that operator interfaces are easy and simple to use, built around real use scenarios.
04 Noise · vibration NOISE · VIBRATION Environmental noise, building services and duct noise, impact sound and structure-borne vibration, measured and predicted, with isolation and insulation measures designed.
PROCESS

How we work

We set measurable acoustic targets for each space at the start, run every stage against them, and verify the result with commissioning measurements. You can also engage us for individual stages.

Design stages
01
Project setup
  • Client brief and operating scenarios
  • Site measurements (reverberation, noise, vibration) and applicable standards
  • Measurable acoustic targets per space (reverberation, background noise, insulation, intelligibility)
  • Initial budget review; audio, video and lighting system concepts

02
Schematic design
  • Room layout, volume and shape
  • Sound insulation zoning and noise-source planning
  • Option studies with 3D acoustic simulation
  • System concept and outline budget
Schematic design report · system diagram
03
Design development
  • Architectural acoustics: room acoustics, stage, sightlines and seating, noise and vibration control
  • Electroacoustics: sound, recording, immersive and variable reverberation systems; video integration and expandability
  • Listen to the design before deciding
