8.   Single wall Design + Construction.

Non-parallel surfaces are to acoustic clarity what sampling rates are to DSP imagery.   The astonishing level of clarity generated by the increase in sample rate from 48 Khz to 192 Khz is a four [4] times increase in resolution.   Likewise, ZR Acoustics® has over 84 times the acoustic resolution of any world class recording studio designed with traditional methodology.   [Universal Mastering A used for this example]

                                                                                    - Paul West


"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."
