The radio studios for Joe and Qmusic still have that new smell, but in the meantime, iDeal Acoustics has also built four more studios for the audio designers and a voice booth at DPG Media Netherlands. "It was a fascinating project because the four studios have different dimensions, which means there are also different standing waves," explains Matthias Aerts from iDeal Acoustics. "We tackled this by placing custom-tuned bass traps at the correct frequency. We had a tight deadline: three people from our construction team worked on it full-time for seven weeks. And the result is impressive: four high-end acoustic studios and a voice booth."
Perfectionist Professionals
From design to finishing, everything was done in close consultation with DPG and the audio designers themselves. Project manager Okke van Bergen was responsible for operational follow-up. "As a mediator, I listen to the users' needs, taking into account the management's requirements. These are professionals who are very perfectionistic about performing their job in optimal conditions. We succeeded in meeting their needs."
Place of Honor for Slash
Each audio designer also received a budget to give their studio a personal touch. Kevin is unpacking the last items and has already placed some plants. Slash from Guns 'n Roses gets a place of honor in the decor. And then the acoustic door closes. Time to make some noise.
