India TV Studio – Noida
Case Study: India TV Studio – Noida
Comprehensive Acoustic Treatment with Wooden Panels, Bass Traps & Acoustic Foams by MMTPL
Project Overview
Client:
India TV Studio
Location:
Noida, India
Scope:
Full acoustic treatment for broadcast-quality sound control in studio spaces.
Total Area Covered:
1,800 m²
Objective:
Create professional-grade acoustics for clear voice recording, controlled reverberation, and visually premium interiors suitable for a television broadcast environment.
Acoustic Challenges
1
Large Studio Volume: High ceilings and wide spaces prone to excessive reverberation and flutter echoes.
2
Speech Clarity Requirement: Clear, intelligible voice recording critical for broadcast operations.
3
Visual Standards: Acoustic finishes had to meet aesthetic and functional requirements for on-camera visuals.
Solutions Implemented by MMTPL
1. Wooden Acoustic Panels
Application:
Installed across walls for balanced sound diffusion and mid-frequency absorption.
Performance:
NRC: 0.70 (with backing) for controlled reverberation.
Premium wood veneer finish matched studio interiors.
Function:
Delivered warm, natural sound ideal for voice-focused environments.
2. Wooden Bass Traps
Placement:
Installed in studio corners and low-frequency accumulation zones.
Performance:
Specialized low-frequency control (below 250 Hz) for bass-heavy resonance removal.
Function:
Flattened room response, crucial for accurate monitoring and live recording.
3. Acoustic Foam Panels
Designs Used:
Galaxy (concave-convex) and Pyramid foam panels for high-frequency absorption.
NRC:
0.90, eliminating flutter echoes and enhancing speech clarity.
Placement:
Reflection points on side walls and ceilings for precision absorption.
Execution
Wall Integration
Combination of wooden slats with concealed BassBloc® backing for superior sound control.
Corner Treatments
Bass traps installed strategically to balance low-frequency build-up.
Foam Positioning
Focused around microphones and recording zones to ensure broadcast-ready clarity.
Results
RT60 (Reverberation Time)
Reduced from ~2.2s to 0.4s, ideal for speech recording.
Speech Intelligibility
Significantly improved voice clarity for live news and panel discussions.
Visual Appeal
Warm wooden finishes enhanced on-camera aesthetics for TV broadcasts.
Composite Acoustic Performance
Achieved studio-grade NRC and controlled low-frequency response.
