As one of the best Cincinnati companies specializing in acoustic treatments, Midwest Audio Visual is using solutions–such as those listed below–that combine special materials, smart technologies and innovative designs to enhance comfort and privacy.
- Adaptive Sound Masking Systems
These systems adjust sound levels dynamically based on ambient noise in real-time, ensuring consistent masking effectiveness. Applications include open offices, healthcare facilities and hospitality spaces.
- Smart and IoT-Connected Sound Masking
These technologies integrate with building management systems to allow remote control, monitoring and data analyses of sound environments. They are energy efficient, have user-friendly interfaces, and integrate with other smart building technologies.
- Customizable Noise Profiles
These tailored sound masking systems simulate natural sounds (e.g., waterfalls, rain) or white/pink/brown noise to suit specific environments. We have installed noise profiles in wellness centers, spas and relaxation zones.
- Ultrasonic Masking
This masking approach uses ultrasonic waves to block specific frequencies, particularly for protecting sensitive speech privacy in conference rooms.
In addition, we implement the following advancements where requested/appropriate:
- Parametric acoustic panels designed with intricate patterns to scatter sound effectively, optimizing both absorption and diffusion.
- Innovative materials such as recycled materials, biophilic designs and 3D-printed geometries for eco-friendly and customizable solutions.
- Systems that use microphones and speakers to actively cancel unwanted noise or enhance desirable sounds in home theaters, high-end conference rooms and music studios.
- Sound-absorbing panels made of clear or translucent materials that integrate seamlessly into glass-heavy modern designs in office partitions, museums and architectural spaces where aesthetics are particularly important.
- Multifunctional fixtures combining sound-absorbing materials with unique lighting. Examples include pendant lights with felt or foam absorbers for open-plan offices or restaurants.
- Custom 3D textured wall panels that double as art pieces. These come in a variety of shapes and colors to suit interiors.
Emerging materials we are exploring
Staying on top of trends is part of being one of the area’s leading acoustic treatment companies. Here are some we are watching:
- Graphene-Based Absorbers
- Ultra-lightweight, durable and capable of absorbing a wide range of sound frequencies
- Aerogel Acoustic Panels
- Extremely lightweight and effective in low-frequency sound absorption
- Eco-Friendly Acoustics
- Recycled PET bottles, cork and hemp panels offer sustainable solutions without compromising performance
Acoustic simulations save us time, our customers money, and increase overall satisfaction and ROI.
Virtual reality tools for acoustic simulations allow us to experience sound environments during the design phase, allowing the selection of site-specific acoustic treatments.
Our AI-driven acoustic modeling uses algorithms to analyze room geometry, surface materials and the sound system’s intended use to recommend optimal solutions.
