Presented by Dirk Noy, Partner, Director of Applied Science and Engineering, WSDG; Stefan Feistel, Partner, Managing Director and Co-Founder, AFMG; Dr. Peter D’Antonio, Senior Acoustician, WSDG and Partner, Director of Research, REDIAcoustics.

This presentation provides an insightful overview of statistical acoustic calculation techniques and geometrical acoustic modeling. It addresses the unique challenges associated with small to medium-sized spaces and delves into the intricacies of contemporary ray tracing software tools. Attendees will also learn about the latest advancements of using these tools in immersive audio environments. Additionally, the presentation will showcase comparative low-frequency analysis calculations obtained using a variety of tools, including boundary element methods (BEM), finite element methods (FEM) and others. The session includes a series of real-world case studies to illustrate these concepts in practical applications.

Time: 4:00 pm

Presented by John Storyk, Founding Partner and Director of Design, WSDG; Romina Larregina, Partner and Director of Production, WSDG; Sergio Molho, Partner, Director of Business Development, WSDG.

With consumers able to experience immersive audio more easily and cost-effectively than ever, and both Spotify as well as Apple Music platforms offering playout facilities for immersive content, demand is seemingly continuing to accelerate. The presentation offers a discussion of acoustical and architectural requirements and challenges as well as the relevant standards to adhere to. As a case study, the presentation will review Paris’ newest studio, including the design strategies as well as advanced predictive acoustic analysis involved in creating the studio’s design. It will also include the studio’s unique elevator assisted “disappearing console” strategy for its Studio A Control Room changing into a multi-purpose live room and classroom.
