Studio A at Acentech specializes in acoustics and audiovisual systems design for the arts. Exceptional sound is critical to the success of performing arts spaces. Achieving this requires careful collaboration among artists, acousticians, designers, and institutions to create arts-centered designs that lead to new, expanded, or revitalized facilities for tomorrow’s performances. Studio A’s consultants bring their own performing arts experience—drawing on backgrounds as accomplished musicians and sound engineers—to ensure a shared vocabulary with artist groups and a deep insight into client needs and aspirations from the very start of a project. In this way, we help artist groups and institutions envision their current and future facilities in alignment with their programs’ goals.
