AFC Enhance uses multiple microphones and speakers to flexibly control the ambience of a space while making use of the environment’s distinctive architectural ambience.
What is AFC Enhance?
AFC Enhance controls the reverberation of a space while making use of the natural acoustic properties of the existing structure. Unlike approaches that add artificial reverb to the source sound to create a different impression, AFC Enhance employs technology developed over many years to control sound propagation within the actual space so that reverberation and volume can be altered while the natural sounds of musical instruments and voices are maintained. Relatively dead acoustic spaces such as event spaces, assembly halls, and banquet rooms that don’t have much reverberation are fine for speech, but if a performance of classical music is held in such spaces the sound lacks depth, making it difficult for the performers and audience to enjoy the sound. An AFC Enhance system can create an ideal sonic environment without the need for structural renovations.
Musical performance
Optimize acoustic spaces for any scene or situation
Optimum reverberation can vary greatly depending on the application. AFC Enhance can create ideal reverberation for an extremely wide range of content and situations without the need for soundboards or other physical treatments that require time and resources to set up. Reverberation can even be changed on the fly, providing optimum ambience for different scenes in a theatrical production, for example. The ability to quickly and easily alter the sonic atmosphere of a space makes it possible to deliver the best possible experience to the audience.
Experiential installation
Create unique atmospheres for experiential installations
- Sound is the critical component to create the experience for sound installation such as museum exhibits, theme park, etc.
- AFC Enhance will create unexpected experience by changing the space reverberation drastically which the audience can never experience in their daily life.
Sports event
Enhanced excitement for sports events
AFC Enhance can also be used to enhance the atmosphere at sports events, making the event even more thrilling for both players and spectators. The sounds of voices, applause, and the environment in general are captured, processed, and redistributed throughout the venue to maximize spectator excitement while simultaneously spurring the players on to greater achievement.
Rehearsal room
More productive rehearsals
Rehearsals will be more productive and give the artists greater confidence if done in an environment that accurately matches the acoustic characteristics of the actual performance space. Rehearsal rooms are typically less reverberant than the venue, which can make it difficult for artists to prepare properly. With AFC Enhance, a quick press of a button is all it takes to match the acoustic environment of the rehearsal room to the final performance space.
