An
audiophile family dedicated the living room of their single-family
home in San Jose, California to the pursuit of high-quality sound and
picture. They had already purchased top-of-the-line electronics and
loudspeakers, and after attending a presentation by Anthony Grimani at
Century Stereo last fall, decided it was time to upgrade the acoustics
of their listening room. Anthony measured the space, ran acoustical
tests on the room, and determined the needed corrections and upgrades.
MSR supplied an acoustical tuning system mainly composed of Dimension4
Symphony modules and coordinated the installation.
This
is one of the first installation of MSR's new Eclypse Drape - it has
the look of a rich velour fabric, but is actually
acoustically-transparent fabric on top of blackout vinyl with thick
strips of flannel absorptive material. This drape provides the correct
balance of absorption and diffusion, while avoiding the common effect of
a solid drape over-absorbing a room.
PMI Engineering dispatched chief engineer, Manny LaCarrubba, to calibrate
the electronics and loudspeakers in the room. Manny used the digital
equalization functions inside the Classé ultra-high-end surround
processor to tune the speaker responses to the room's character. After
extensive listening tests to 2-channel and multi-channel audio and film
program material, the clients were pleased as punch and gave great
kudos to MSR's acoustical tuning systems!
