Vicoustic Building & Construction
Our Project Team is available to assist Architects and Designers, as well as end customers. Our Team is able to answer your technical questions and provide the necessary product documentation and implementa-tion details.
The Team includes Civil Engineers, specialized in struc-tural engineering, Designers, and Senior Acousticians. We also utilize our Research Department to develop customized products to satisfy your every need. Vicous-tic has the most advanced hardware and software tools available to accurately simulate the �nalized acoustic result. Together, we provide reliable and e�ective rec-ommendations, products and support services throughout the building process, when requested.
In collaboration with our world-wide partners, you will �nd examples of completed installations for Sony, BBC, Microsoft, ITV, Clarion, SIS, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, and many, many more.
PROJECT Team
The Vicoustic Research Center was designed for technological development that includes training and skill enhancement in speci�c areas, including Acoustic Product En-gineering and Surveillance Technology. Vicoustic has dedicated considerable investiga-tion in Building integration, on an international scale, and has been extremely successful in producing high performance acoustic products that comply with demanding �re rat-ings, safety and environmental regulations, while maintaining competitive cost levels. As a result, Vicoustic products are fully optimized. The R&D Center is divided into two distinct areas:
1) A Multifunctional Room with magnetic walls that allows us to mount and dis-mount any combination of products, to study performance, quality, design and aes-thetics, instantaneously . This concept is already creating a ripple e�ect and is being adapted in demo rooms and testing facilities around the globe.
2) Lab Test Facility is an innovative chamber with exclusive features that continues to be unique in the world. The objective was to build an adaptive volume chamber, allowing us to perform acoustic tests in various sized rooms. Thanks to a 4 ton me-chanical wall, that travels on a set of rails, we can de�ne the exact measurements of the chamber, and adjust the length of sound waves, produced inside. The wall has a custom made insulation system that is remotely controlled by a hydraulic system, completely blocking sound transmission, inside and out. It includes a cutting-edge laboratory infrastructure that converts into three hybrid states: Low Frequency Reso-nation Chamber, Reverberation Chamber, and an Anechoic Chamber. Inside the hybrid test lab, we have installed four subwoofers and one B&K Omnidirectional loud-speaker that will generate speci�c sound waves named Plane Waves. By positioning the mechanical wall, it is possible to study any product sample at precise frequencies. The sound behavior is captured using B&K microphones, insuring reliable data to continue our analyses. The technology and rigorous in-house testing are the founda-tion of each and every product, making Vicoustic a distinguished brand and leader in its sector.
