Genesis

Architectural acoustics, noise management and audio-visual systems are lesser-known sciences but are gaining rapid importance in building budgets. Getting it right the first time, every time is vital to the success of projects. Anutone’s research technology group has developed SoundSelec^TM - simplified acoustical packages - for each construction vertical to fast forward the AEC community towards great sounding spaces. Based on Anutone’s domain expertise and experience, born from a passion to build excellent spaces to current international trends, SoundSelec^TM vastly simplifies the sound-conditioning process, ensures superior aesthetics – all at an astonishing value proposition.

SoundSelec^TM is based on careful constructs of real-world applications for Asian economies. It has a user-friendly interface, and integrates into projects easily, collapsing time windows and cost budgets dramatically. SoundSelec^TM is structured on Master Format 2004 of the USA-based Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) – the global information standard for the AEC community in the construction & engineering industry. MasterFormat 2004 is an organised database, useful for the entire lifecycle of a building and is the standard of practice among the industry ecosystem.

About SoundSelec^TM

SoundSelec^TM is a profitable business model that revolves around p2p (peer-to-peer) technology and community-based portals. Each SoundSelec^TM acoustical package, in 24 protocol-based modules, comprises of –

• SoundSpec^TM– acoustical objectives based on current international standards that the space must fulfill
• SoundScope^TM– specific design, supply, build services that will value-realize the acoustical objectives

Use SoundSelec^TM as the design database and derive the cool quotient of sound-conditioned spaces complementing stunning aesthetics.

WHY SoundSelec^TM ?

Distracting workstations, jarring performances, muddled dialogues, sleep-inducing sermons, noise pollution litigation, incomprehensible public announcements, dull visual displays, and interfering sightlines – everyone has experienced stress-building noise, AV systems and space geometries. Aural and visual display comfort, as a stress buster has largely been unknown.

Acoustics was sometimes provided in projects but only as a troubleshooting afterthought for bad sounding spaces, post-occupancy. Spaces boasted stunning aesthetics but with aural discomfort. Now, due to increasing awareness acoustics is catered to, but different acoustic agencies for design, supply, build are involved - sometimes without the requisite expertise and experience. This can mean confusing multiple ownership of the same process, leading to discrepancies and delays. Worse, it can also mean unsatisfactory delivery of project objectives.

• To enable the design community to harness the benefits of state-of-the-art technologies in acoustics, noise management, AV and space geometry
• To ensure single ownership of the value-chain process from concept to completion
• To impart the competitive edge to space owners with the best value per square meter of the built environment; to meet the booming demand with optimal integrity solutions.

Anutone^® has developed this powerful, practical SoundSelec^TM programme – simplified acoustical packages – for all construction verticals and sub-verticals.

SoundSelec^TM deciphers acoustic technologies, and maximizes stakeholder value.
