Kinetics Noise Control on Making Rooms Sound as Good as They Look

Jason Ehrlich, business development manager of room acoustics in the home market at Kinetics Noise Control, sits down with us for a conversation about why acoustics deserve a much earlier place in the design process.Ehrlich breaks down how room shape, materials, seating, speaker placement, reflections, and noise control all influence the final listening experience, whether in a dedicated home theater, listening room, podcast space, or commercial environment. The conversation also touches on CEDIA’s RP32 and RP22 guidelines, the limits of room correction software, why “just adding panels” can sometimes make a room worse, and how integrators can better communicate the value of acoustics to clients, designers, architects, and builders.
