Function ~ Acoustic Design + Consultation
Clear Acoustics is our primary goal. Whether your project is a warm vibrant concert hall or a tight punchy music mix room, we create sound spaces to please the senses which exceed all technical specifications.  Using acoustical engineering, intuition and a good set of ears, we design and build acoustic spaces with clarity and character.
DHDI utilizes the Bruel & Kjaer 2250 acoustical testing system.
ZR Acoustics®
[Zero Reflection Acoustics] is a modus operandi for designing audio production spaces with crystal clear acoustics + world class acoustic signatures. Utilizing everyday construction materials, ZR Acoustics®
renders rooms acoustically invisible, extending the near field environment to the entire air volume of the space.   The design algorithm generates an abnormally large sweet spot 5 feet wide extending from the mix position all the way to the rear wall.   Eliminating aberrant acoustical anomalies such as resonant frequencies, standing waves, room modes and bass buildup in corners, ZR Acoustics®
allows mixers to focus on the two remaining challenges facing all audio engineers:   content and transducers.   Additional benefits include Zero loss of square footage/air volume, Zero phase inversion and audible image everywhere in spaces designed with ZR Acoustics®
.
ZR Acoustics®
is a trademarked and patent-pending design technology.
"It's like Record Plant Studio 3 only better.  
There's no where else in the world I would rather mix than my ZR room."

"It's incredible:   I can hear every detail and nuance.   The clarity and depth are unbelievable!   Small room, big room, loud or soft, the imaging and frequency response stays consistent.   It's just fantastic!   You really can't get it until you hear it for yourself."
                                                                                   
- Ron McMaster   [Sr. Mastering Engineer Capitol Records]
"What magic in those walls!   The room fades away, leaving only the truest sound I've ever heard.   Perfection!"
                                                                                    - Bernie Laramie   [Producer]
"Masque Santa Fe has no intention on becoming the biggest, only the best.  
ZR Acoustics® is the acoustic brilliance that will deliver brand recognition to our facility. "

"wow. Wow. WOW!   It's elegantly simple.   Nothing short of a revolution."
                                                                                    - Joseph LoDuca   [Composer]
"The sweet spot is as big as a house!   You could drive a truck through it."
                                                                                    - Gary Lux
"Amazing!   Remarkable!   It's smooth and even throughout the entire space."

"Unbelieveable.   I shouldn't be able to mix from the couch at the back of the room."
                                                                                    - Richie Becker
  [Fox Sports]
"ZR Acoustics® takes the room out of the equation.   It's a quality listening environment that translates from room to room of any size."
                                                                                   
- Greg P. Russell

"Wow.   Brilliant.   Magical."                       - Erick Labson
  [Universal Music Group Mastering Division]
"ZR could do for studio acoustics what the DAW has done for recording...it's simple and elegant and it's real."
                                                                                    - Alex Oana
  [Pro Audio Review]
"Delta H Design is clearly the company furthest ahead of the curve in it's field.   The sonic balance in the ZR Acoustics®
rooms provides ample evidence to that effect."
                                                                                    - Stephen Marsh

"ZR Acoustics® has revolutionized the standard for the BEST Film, Television and Music Recording, Mixing and Mastering environments.   Masque Entertainment and the our clients will accept nothing but the BEST!"
                                                                                   
- John Myrick   [VP Post Production Masque Entertainment]
"Check it out.   Sit or stand just about anywhere in a ZR Acoustics room:   in corners, in windowsills (yes, windows!), by the door.   The stereo image is precise with no bass build-up.   What a joy to be fully immersed in the music and the moment rather than worrying about the room."
                                                                                   
- Richard Weatherley   [Pagewood Sound]
"It......doesn't sound."                                     
- Zoux
  [Producer/Composer/Musician]
"ZR Acoustics® embraced our Signature series loudspeakers to an
unexpected extent.   I haven't heard of this kind of symbiosis from
loudspeaker/room interaction over the balance of my career.  
On top of any other accolades, I can also add that ZR Acoustics® is also
space efficient and furniture friendly.   Fantastic invention!"

"Delta H's design takes the room out of the listening equation.   It's just you, speakers, and music.   It allows you to really feel the space in your recordings, and hear every nuance of your mixes.   Not to mention that listening to music in a ZR room is just more fun."
                                                                                    - Travis Ference   [The Lab Studios

"When I came to conduct sound testing for transmission loss on the ZR walls with Delta H, I didn't really expect anything out-of-the-ordinary.   However, when I turned the loudspeaker on to record the sound pressure levels, I was astounded at how evenly - distributed the levels were over such a broad frequency spectrum and throughout the entire space.   The whole room seemed to equalize the acoustic energy naturally.   I was concerned, at first, that I wouldn't have enough sound energy with my one loudspeaker to conduct a proper test, but the background noise in each room was so low throughout the entire frequency spectrum that our data was unaffected by any exterior noise.   The QuietRock 545 THX panels didn't disappoint either.   The combination of the ZR Acoustics® technology with the damped-panel technology of QuietRock surpassed my expectations in every aspect."
