Welcome to Irish Acoustics

Welcome to our new website.  We are dedicated to creating the best possible sonic environments for people as they live and work. Great or good acoustics can greatly enhance the human experience, bad acoustics can be stressful, even a danger to health. Noise is a certain danger. Two sides of the one coin, Acoustics and Noise Control.

Acoustics

Acoustic design  can render speech intelligible, useful in a Court or Class Room. Live performance, from  Shakespeare to Ozzy Osbourne, can be magically enhanced by a supportive acoustic. Recording or Rehearsal Studios, Cinemas, Theatres, Pubs, Venues, will  all benefit from acoustic consideration. This can make the difference between commercial success or failure. There are new technologies which can transform the modern domestic acoustic into an oasis of calm.

Noise Control
Noise can range from background to annoying to ear damaging. It can be stopped, made tolerable and safe.  IA have developed  an arsenal of practical affordable SoundProofing techniques. It is possible to lead a quiet life. Since 2007 Irish Acoustics have helped dozens of clients locally and internationally on the web. IA activity is ramping up nicely despite the recession.  This new website is the beginning of an awareness campaign. It will also be the home of Articles on Acoustics including some very practical DIY techniques.

Several local studios are consulting with IA

Donncha Moynihan has turned his Rise Studio  room around, literally,  and is experimenting with Dirac Live room correction software.

John Crone of Manor Studio Cobh has come up with an ingenious DIY acoustic trap design.

I will publish this design on another page here shortly.

International Clients

John Ferraris is building a personal use studio in a London garden. He has achieve very decent soundproofing using readily available materials and DIY.

We recently visited Ed Lewis at his wonderfully personal Giant Wafer Studios in Wales. He is undertaking a major rebuild extending his live room,

and adding a large dead one.  Ed builds everything impeccably, including ‘vintage’ preamps and compressors.

On the return trip we experienced the hospitality of  Real World Studios, a truly amazing place.

Roberto Drassinower has been doing an extensive and innovative acoustic makeover of his studio in Toronto.

Remarkable results.

Noise Control

IA are currently help a Hotel which is emitting Noise from the bands playing at Weddings etc.

We are working with several partners on this one. Wright Windows, Insulex, Secondary Glazing Ireland

A rural Doctor’s Surgery is suffering from Noise incoming from a Pharmacy next door.

Poor building practice during the Tiger comes back to bite. Our partner builder, Sean O Sullivan will be installing secondary interior wall layers.

Irish Acoustics Website  goes live

Founded in 2007,  IA has been gradually building skills and contacts. We are now ready to increase awareness of what we can bring to the table. This website is the start of the process. It’s early days, content is being added daily. However we are already getting compliments on the ‘Look’ and ease of use of the site.   This is entirely due to our Web and Graphic Guru Paul Goode

We are excited to announce our first green field new studio build

Cormac O’Connor has engaged Irish Acoustics to design his new RingaBella Studio,  19Hertz

The building work is progressing rapidly under the meticulous eye of Donie. We are working with STO Acoustic Plaster to hopefully create a showcase of what can be done  with this innovative new product. The design and build process will find it’s way into the Portfolio here shortly.
