‘La sala del Rosso’ listening space has been a massive project in terms of sound room design. Located in part of an ancient Florentine castle full of volts and niches which although beautiful presented problems of flutter echoes, dead spots, and general lack of uniformity in sound distribution.
A major modification of the shape of the room was going to be necessary but had to be done without ruining the existing structure. We had the idea of reshaping the space by suspending acoustic screens from the ceiling and standing them away from the walls.
A combination of porous absorbers, polycilindrical wooden scattering surfaces and binary amplitude diffuser panels provided the correct broadband reverberation time with a high degree of diffuseness of the sound field which is obviously beneficial for both live and reproduced music. In addition, a series of custom broadband and membrane traps insure bass linearity down to the first octave. In this space, the listener can fully experience the true quality of our product range.
