Hardware-Based Noise Suppression

Optimising sound at the source with precision hardware.

The foundation of high-quality audio starts with the right microphone and its accompanying accessories. These tools are designed to ensure that sound is captured with maximum clarity while minimizing background noise and environmental disturbances.

Directional Microphones (Cardioid, Supercardioid, Shotgun)

These microphones are specifically engineered to capture sound from a particular direction while rejecting noise from off-axis sources. This makes them an excellent choice for environments with background chatter or multiple sound sources, such as conference rooms, live events, or outdoor recordings.

By isolating the desired audio, directional microphones deliver clear and focused sound without interference.

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones are less sensitive to background noise compared to condenser microphones, making them ideal for noisy environments like live performances, interviews, or broadcasting.

Their robust construction ensures durability and reliability in demanding conditions, while their ability to handle high sound pressure levels ensures distortion-free audio capture.

Windscreens & Pop Filters

Windscreens and pop filters are essential accessories that mitigate plosive sounds, such as “P” and “B” sounds, and reduce wind noise during outdoor recordings.

They provide a smoother and more consistent sound quality, enhancing the listening experience for audiences and making post-production editing more efficient.

Mixers & DSP (Digital Signal Processing

Mixers and DSPs are indispensable for refining audio signals in real time, allowing users to maintain control over sound quality and eliminate unwanted noise.

Noise Gates

Noise gates are audio processors that mute signals below a specific threshold, effectively removing low-level background noise during quiet moments. This is particularly useful for live sound reinforcement, podcasting, and studio recording, where clean audio is crucial for a professional output.

Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) DSPs

ANC DSPs actively analyze and suppress unwanted background sounds in real time. These systems are ideal for environments like conference rooms or live broadcasts, where maintaining pristine audio quality is essential. By adapting dynamically to changing noise levels, they ensure consistent sound clarity regardless of the surroundings.

Audio Interfaces & External Hardware

High-quality audio interfaces and external hardware are critical for capturing, processing, and delivering professional-grade audio.

Preamp Noise Reduction

Preamplifiers are responsible for boosting microphone signals to usable levels. High-quality preamps, such as those from Focusrite or Universal Audio, minimize hiss and electronic interference during this process, ensuring clean and detailed sound capture.

Hardware Noise Suppressors

Devices like the DBX 286s or BSS DPR-944 are designed to remove persistent hums, hisses, and other unwanted sounds from audio signals. These hardware solutions are indispensable in live settings, recording studios, and broadcast environments where audio clarity is non-negotiable.

Real-Time Noise Suppression

Software-based real-time noise suppression has revolutionised audio processing by enabling dynamic noise reduction during live recordings, streams, or video conferencing sessions.

AI-Based Denoising

Advanced tools like NVIDIA Broadcast, Krisp, and RTX Voice leverage machine learning to intelligently identify and suppress background noises such as typing, HVAC sounds, or traffic. These solutions work dynamically, ensuring that the primary audio source remains unaffected, making them ideal for remote work, live streaming, and hybrid meetings.

Built-In Conferencing Noise Suppression

Platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams offer integrated noise suppression features to eliminate distractions during virtual meetings. These tools enhance professionalism by ensuring that only the speaker’s voice is heard clearly, even in less-than-ideal environments.

Adaptive Acoustic Solutions

Movable acoustic panels or partitions provide flexibility, allowing spaces to be reconfigured as needed. This is ideal for multipurpose rooms that transition between collaborative meetings and quiet work sessions.

Post-Processing Noise Reduction

Software-based real-time noise suppression has revolutionised audio processing by enabling dynamic noise reduction during live recordings, streams, or video conferencing sessions.

DAW Plugins

Industry-leading plugins like iZotope RX and Waves NS1 specialize in repairing audio by removing unwanted noise, clicks, or hum. These tools are widely used in professional audio production for podcasts, films, and music.

Video Editing Suites

Programs like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro integrate noise reduction capabilities into video editing workflows. These tools ensure that visuals and audio are equally polished, enhancing the overall quality of multimedia projects.

Free Noise Reduction Tools

Applications like Audacity provide accessible noise reduction features, allowing users to profile and remove specific sounds. While basic, these tools are effective for smaller-scale projects or entry-level audio editing.

Acoustic Noise Suppression

Acoustic treatments transform any space into an optimised audio environment by managing reflections, echoes, and resonances.

Acoustic Panels & Foam

These materials absorb mid to high-frequency sound waves, reducing echo and improving clarity. Acoustic panels are commonly used in recording studios, conference rooms, and home offices to create a more controlled and professional sound environment.

Bass Traps

Bass traps target low-frequency sound waves, which can cause rumble and muddied audio. Placing these traps in corners or along walls significantly improves sound balance, making them essential for studios, auditoriums, and high-fidelity listening rooms.

Diffusers

Diffusers scatter sound waves evenly throughout a space, preventing the buildup of echoes. Unlike absorptive materials, diffusers maintain a room’s natural acoustics while eliminating harsh reflections, making them ideal for performance venues and large meeting spaces.

Soundproofing

Soundproofing solutions block external noise from entering a space and prevent internal sound from leaking out, creating a quiet and focused environment.

Mass-Loaded Vinyl (MLV) & Sound Barriers

These dense, flexible materials provide effective noise isolation by blocking sound transmission through walls, floors, and ceilings. MLV is commonly used in studios, theaters, and high-traffic buildings.

Floating Floors & Decoupling

Floating floors isolate the structure from vibrations caused by footsteps, machinery, or environmental factors. This technique is essential for studios and performance spaces where sensitive microphones can pick up even the slightest vibrations.

Door Seals & Acoustic Curtains

Acoustic door seals and heavy curtains help reduce noise leakage, particularly in rooms with gaps around doors or large windows. These solutions are practical for creating private spaces in offices or enhancing sound isolation in recording studios.

By combining advanced hardware, innovative software, and strategic acoustic treatments, you can achieve pristine audio quality for any environment. These solutions cater to diverse needs, whether for live events, studios, or everyday use, ensuring a professional and polished sound experience.

Frequently asked questions about Acoustic Treatment

Acoustic Treatment solutions deflect and absorb unwanted noise. This helps to create a quieter work environment where team members can concentrate and be more productive.

Quieter environments also help teams to communicate more effectively. So acoustic treatments can help teams to stay aligned and innovative.

Environments with lower noise levels also make your staff happier. Employees have a better work experience and report higher levels of satisfaction in quieter workplaces.

Room acoustics are critical to sound quality. We optimise acoustics by:

• Using acoustic panels or soundproofing materials to reduce noise.

• Installing directional microphones and speakers to focus on specific areas.

• Conducting room acoustic analysis to ensure optimal sound coverage.

We assess the room’s dimensions and layout before recommending specific acoustic treatments and ensuring all audio components are placed strategically for the best sound distribution.

Integration of AV equipment into the room’s design is key to creating an aesthetically pleasing and functional space. We will work closely with your interior designers (or your team) to ensure the AV equipment complements the layout. For example:

• Display screens are mounted at eye level for visibility.

• Speakers and microphones are unobtrusive but placed strategically for optimal sound.

• Cabling is concealed to maintain a clean, modern look.

We collaborate with architects and interior designers to ensure AV systems blend seamlessly with the space, using high-quality, low-profile equipment and hidden cabling where possible.
