What is ‘Acoustic Modeling’ and how does Sound Planning use this system to take your projects from “How?” to “Wow!”

Acoustic Modeling is one of the many premier tools that the expert integrators at Sound Planning use to help plan and build your custom audio-visual system. But what the heck is it? Simply put, Acoustic Modeling creates a computer model of all the annoying little things that you may have noticed yourself when you last stood in a room and had to listen to something. Places where the sound was bad or unclear; places where the audio speakers were too soft or, more likely, far too loud. Acoustic Modeling helps the Sound Planning integrators determine where and why all these annoyances happen by testing the real acoustics of whatever space you might be using. Now, put down that air-dry clay; these models are purely digital. But these 3D digital models represent the real spaces you work in every day and help the Sound Planning team design the best possible custom solutions. 

Acoustic Modeling helps take the guesswork out of the real-world issues your church or house of worship faces daily. The expert integrators at Sound Planning understand better than most that sometimes the real problem isn’t that the equipment isn’t expensive enough. If the design doesn’t suit the space, it doesn’t matter if you’re spending $5 or $5000. At best, good equipment can mask the symptoms that are causing bad sound quality, but tools like Acoustic Modeling don’t just identify solutions that you might be able to hear yourself; these tools can successfully identify the root of persistent or chronic issues in specific spaces that are currently causing bad sound quality or issues that might cause problems in the future.

Don’t underestimate the solutions that you can see! It’s easy to get lost in the jargon of the audio-visual world, and some tools (including Acoustic Modeling!) that require trained users to collect and model data. If you’ve already worked with Sound Planning, that’s a great first step in finding quality support and implementation for any audio-visual project! Additional tools like Acoustic Modeling are just another way that Sound Planning customizes your experience and not just the product you receive. Sound Planning is committed to showing you where you can make improvements instead of just telling you what improvements to implement.  

Taking time to build your church’s sound system on strong foundations isn’t just good sense– it’s money well spent. It’s tempting to rush the process and commit too quickly to a company or a system that would get you connected fast. But a quick solution might not be the best one for your church or house of worship for many reasons: lack of ample time for proper planning and consideration is only one issue of many. Remember, ‘good enough for now’ isn’t the only answer you should be considering. Sound Planning isn’t just here to help you plan for right now; we’re here to help you plan for the long-term solutions that don’t just last longer than our competitors– they grow with you.
