ZR - FT Acoustics is the latest iteration of ZR Acoustics®, designed specifically for implementation in concert halls, opera houses and live performance spaces. ZR - FT's open architecture allows for an infinite variety of architectural and aesthetic applications while retaining the clarity and definition of the original ZR Acoustics®
design. Inspired by Mandelbrot's fractal mathematics, Penrose's algebraic geometries and Nature's own topological terrain, ZR - FT
exceeds the already considerable acoustical resolution of the classic ZR Acoustics®
design by tens of trillions. ZR - FT is a quasi-chaotic. non-algorithmic, aperiodic design paradigm.
Number of possible combinations in a
ZR Acoustics®
studio = 10700.
Number of possible combinations in a
ZR - FT Acoustics®
performance space= 1010,000.
Classic ZR Acoustics®
designs are elegant and invisible to the eye, their critical elements woven into orthogonal wall structures.
In contrast, ZR - FT designs are visually striking, their verve an homage to Nature.
Acoustically and architecturally it seamlessly interlaces an emulation of natural elements with an evolution of centuries of theatre design. The end result being live performance spaces with visual panache, acoustic clarity and realistic aural imaging derived from proven ZR Acoustics® design paradigms.
ZR - FT is an acronym for 'Zero Reflection Fractal Topological'.
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 design technology.
