As part of the Recording Technology Curriculum, the acoustics of an
individual music pratice room were analyzed. These rooms are typically
hard and reflective and do not contribute positively to the musical
education of a student.
Tom Knab, Director of the the Recording Technology Program at CIM,
indicated that “An analysis of the room indicated that the loudness
was too extreme, the room was poor for intonation and articulation
studies, and the modal response was poor. We added Skyline diffusors
to the ceiling to improve the general diffusion in the room and DiffusorBlox
to one wall. The DiffusorBlox dramatically controlled the modal response,
making the room less boomy and more pleasant to rehearse in. The DiffusorBlox
also controlled strong specular reflections for a natural sense of
ambiance. Davie Cerone, president of CIM, indicated that the acoustics
of the practice room have been greatly improved and students tend
to select the treated room when they have the opportunity.”
