Item: Detail architectural features—wainscot, doors, moulding, bookcases, etc.—in ways that turn them into assets in the overall acoustic plan.

Relevance: To ensure stylistic flow, many architects and interiors designers prefer to introduce into the A/V venue various design features from other rooms in the home—e.g., wainscot, paneling, columns, pilasters, doors, crown moulding, and so on. These elements can limit the quality of the A/V experience or enhance it, depending on the room designer's skill and ability to see the room as a whole, not just isolated patches of wall space available for acoustic materials. Keith Yates Design Group has been turning common architectural features into devices that actually improve the room's acoustic performance for many years. We can issue design documents and/or shop drawings to make sure that the room reaches its potential, both visually and acoustically.

Form: Dimensioned, computer-generated drawings.
