Acoustic Directions is a specialist acoustic engineering
consultancy based in Sydney Australia

Acoustic Directions has achieved an enviable reputation for design excellence over a diverse range of acoustic situations (that are) connected with speech, music and aural comfort.

Our work focusses on (the design of) rooms, buildings and sound systems used for live or recorded speech and music. We enjoy a diverse client base extending from parliaments, courts, churches, stadia and nightclubs to performance venues.

We are passionate about the role of sound and music in our community and the need for speech clarity in public spaces. This passion drives two fundamental facets in our work.

One facet involves designing acoustic containment techniques for situations with high music sound levels, such as hotels, nightclubs, churches and outdoor concerts, so that their noise emissions meet statutory codes.

The other facet involves design and integration of sound systems and the architectural acoustics of spaces so that listeners hear high speech clarity, and music with high fidelity and high accuracy.

Our sound systems are found in challenging acoustic environments such as parliaments, cathedrals, courts and sporting stadia.

A hallmark of our work is our holistic understanding of the interdependence of acoustics and electro-acoustics. We are regarded as a world leader in the field of sound system design for challenging and unusual spaces.

Often acoustics and architecture have requirements that are in conflict at face value.  We pride ourselves on our ability to work collaboratively with architects and other disciplines to find solutions for complex acoustical problems, without compromising either architecture or sound quality.
