Equipment Standards

SONIC ROOM provides access to equipment that exceeds what most listeners encounter elsewhere: Professional-grade loudspeakers capable of reproducing the full frequency range with accuracy and power. Amplification designed for the specific acoustic properties of each installation. Multichannel configurations that create genuine spatial audio. Source equipment that preserves the resolution of master recordings. This equipment is expensive. Few individuals own comparable systems. Commercial spaces typically deploy audio equipment optimized for low cost rather than high fidelity. The result is a general impoverishment of sonic experience. SONIC ROOM corrects this impoverishment. The installation provides access to reproduction quality that reveals what recordings actually contain. This is a form of public access. SONIC ROOM democratizes what has historically been available only to recording professionals and wealthy collectors.
