3LR Design

3LR Design’s Chris Dowell analyzes real time room acoustics data in collaboration with the ED+A team, in preparation for a new Performing Arts Center renovation project in South Florida.

The device we affectionately call “The Peacock” is the 01db Sound Inspector, which utilises an array of 112 integrated microphones and a high-definition digital camera, allowing us to collect extremely accurate data on the acoustic properties of any room.

The information we gather with this (and other devices) informs our design decisions for both static and adjustable acoustic treatments, modifications in the room shaping throughout the renovation process, as well as in the design of live-event performance audio and public address systems.

Every tool we use, and each decision we make, effects patron experience and the operational functionality of the venue. We never simply “guess.” Each choice is derived from meeting at the crossroads of data, experience, and creativity.
