Item: Specify type, quantity, make, model and location of wall- and ceiling-mounted acoustic treatment (e.g., absorbers, diffusors, reflectors, pressure traps and compound devices) to optimize sound quality of the playback system at the specified listening locations.

Relevance: Getting the acoustic environment right is the "make or break" part of any A/V venue, whether it's a Home Theater, Media Room, Precision Listening Environment, or even a studio control room. Many, perhaps most, extensively "sound treated" rooms are vaguely unpleasant or even eery to be in; rooms designed by Keith Yates Design Group are characteristically free of this all-too-common defect because they're designed from both experience and knowledge of psychoacoustics, the study of the relationship between the physical components of sound (frequency, pressure, etc.) and the perceptions they give rise to in humans.

Form: Computer-generated, dimensioned drawings and list of manufacturers (name, address, telephone, fax, etc.).
