Every project follows the same principle: audio resolved at the right moment in the design programme, not retrofitted at the end. The process below is how we make that happen consistently across hospitality, residential, and recording environments.
Acoustic Blueprint
Design Phase
- Full site acoustic assessment and spatial analysis
- Volumetric modelling and acoustic simulation
- Custom speaker specification and placement strategy
- CAD overlay drawings for coordination with architectural plans
- DSP signal path schematic and zone mapping
- Infrastructure specification for M&E coordination
Engineered Procurement
Specification and Sourcing
- Equipment specification and bill of materials
- Manufacturer liaison and custom sourcing where required
- Contractor tender documentation
- Budget planning and phased procurement scheduling
- Quality control standards for installation teams
Precision Commissioning
Installation and Calibration
- On-site installation oversight and quality assurance
- Measurement-based system calibration
- DSP programming and zone configuration
- Final acoustic tuning to achieve the intended spatial result
- Client handover with system documentation and user guides
Ongoing Support
Post Handover
- System documentation and operational guides
- User training for day-to-day system management
- Periodic recalibration as the space evolves
- Remote support and diagnostics
- System expansion planning for future requirements

Ideally at concept stage. Early planning allows full integration without compromise. Addressing audio requirements early ensures speaker placement, acoustic treatment and system infrastructure can be coordinated with architecture and interiors from the outset.
An audio consultant designs the system and experience. An installer executes the installation. Both are important, but they serve different roles. A consultant focuses on the overall sonic strategy, equipment specification and acoustic design, while an installer handles the physical implementation.
Yes. Most of our projects involve close collaboration with architects and interior designers. We work as part of the design team to ensure audio requirements are considered alongside spatial, material and aesthetic decisions.
Yes. While based in London, we work internationally, including projects in Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and across Europe. We collaborate remotely with design teams and travel for key project stages where required.
Costs vary depending on project size and complexity. We provide tailored proposals based on scope, typically structured around consultancy phases including acoustic planning, system design and commissioning oversight.
