It is almost a truism, but it cannot be repeated often enough: The room acoustics have an enormous influence on the sound of the home hi-fi or home cinema system. But rarely do the components play in an acoustically ideal room. This is exactly where Vicoustic products come in, because the manufacturer offers an extensive portfolio of stylish acoustic elements that can be intelligently combined.
In an ideal world, every hi-fi fan would first assemble their dream system and then build the acoustically ideal room around it. But for the vast majority, this approach will be illusory. With a lot of luck, you can reserve an existing room that is not too unfavorably designed for listening to music; often enough you have to be content with a corner in the living room that has been wrested from the rest of the family. By cleverly setting up the system and, above all, the loudspeakers, you can then try to get the best out of the options available, and you still have some optimization potential when it comes to the choice of furniture and equipment. But that usually means that all options are exhausted. There are certainly a few solutions that can be used to further improve room acoustics, but there are two main reasons against using them in the home: firstly, you need a good deal of knowledge and experience to plan such solutions, and secondly, most of them come from us these solutions from the recording studio area and are therefore characterized by a rather simple and functional design, which is not necessarily the first choice in a living room.
The Portuguese manufacturer Vicoustic is mainly active in the professional sector and is an international leader there, but has recognized precisely these problems in the private environment and responded to them with its own product line for HiFi and home cinema. This product line is based on the extensive experience of the Portuguese in the studio area and comprises a large number of different elements that can be combined with one another as required. On the technical side, these elements address the various aspects relevant to room acoustics optimization: absorption, diffusion and bass traps. All elements are available in different designs and, above all, different colors and surfaces, so that their function and appearance can be perfectly matched to the respective room.
But while most people should be able to choose the right colors for their interior, choosing and positioning the acoustic elements needed is a much more challenging task, which usually requires an engineering degree and a lot of experience. But Vicoustic has also thought of that and provides the customer or the executing dealer with their own acoustics expertise.
