Experience

With extensive experience and considerable depth of experience, there is a lot that we can offer our clients. However, we have chosen to focus on areas where we can offer the most competitive, efficient and highest quality services. These services are what we are all about, and we work hard to ensure that we provide world-class service to all of our clients.

Gracenote Consulting is focused on acoustics, sound system design, integrated technology and communications systems. Our specialty is audio, with extensive experience in audio visual integration, DSP programming and communications. We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality service available. Although the depth of our experience provides a wide array of opportunities, we are focused on the following services.

Architectural Acoustics

In today's dynamic marketplace, acoustical design takes on new meaning. Acoustical design must function within the larger space, considering AV, sound reinforcement and reproduction. We strive to provide acoustical design that works, providing practical performance measures for all aspects including speech, music and interior noise performance in accordance with internationally accepted standards.

Calculation and recommendation of interior acoustical performance of closed spaces.
Calculation and recommendation of barrier/partition construction for control of airborne and impact noise.
Calculation and prediction of speech intelligibility performance in accordance with accepted international standards.
Design of educational facilities to conform with LEED and ANSI standards.
Review and recommendation of mechanical systems for efficient noise control.
Calculation and predicition of noise impact of adjacent spaces.
Design of interior spaces to enhance the performance of acoustic music.

Electro-Acoustics

Electro-Acoustics is the science of how reinforced or reproduced sound interacts within an acoustical environment. The design and specification of sound reinforcement systems is at the core of what we do. From musical theatre to public address, Gracenote-designed systems provide the highest level of performance, efficiency and value.

Design of advanced loudspeaker systems and associated signal processing, control and distribution.
Calculation of electro-acoustic performance measures including intelligibility (STI, Alcons), Clarity (C) and other advanced performance criteria.
Design, documentation and costing analysis of comprehensive systems.
Design and documentation of extensive infrastructure for technical systems.
Comprehensive programming of sophisticated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems and associated user interface.
End user training.

Audio Visual Technology

Beyond audio, Gracenote provides turn-key design solutions for the integration of audio, video, control and computer-based technology. From simple presentation systems to full-blown conferencing and content server systems, Gracenote Consulting is equipped to design systems with the latest emerging technology.

Comprehensive geometrical design for all visual display, presentation and reproduction systems.
Space planning for user control and production positions.
Design, documentation and costing analysis of comprehensive AV systems.
Extensive visual display design including calculation and prediction of display system contrast, brightness and uniformity.
Relentless attention to detail, operational function and value.
