Four acoustically isolated rooms. Engineered from DXF coordinates. Every dimension verified, every treatment calculated, every system specified — ready to build.
The northwest corner of TechTown's B3 basement: 34.42 m² of raw concrete. Irregular geometry. Two structural columns that cannot move. One shared HVAC system. The brief: turn it into a voiceover booth, a control room, a video studio, and an editing suite — each acoustically isolated from the others and from the building above.
A trapezoid, not a rectangle. South wall 737 cm, north wall 860 cm, NW diagonal 448 cm. Every room layout must compensate for the angle.
The VO booth targets NC-12 — quieter than most recording studios on the planet. In a room smaller than a parking space, with HVAC running.
Three indoor units, five silencer runs, one buffer spine. Sound from the Control Room must not reach the Editing Suite through shared ductwork.
Two concrete columns (COL_W and COL_E) sit inside the zone. Walls must maintain 10mm air gaps. No cutting, no moving, no exceptions.
Every number in this study traces back to the architect's DXF drawings — cross-verified against eight PDF sheets and locked into a single source of truth that drives every page on this site.
Every coordinate extracted from the architect's DXF drawings (B301–B308). Walls, doors, columns, and dimensions verified against eight PDF sheets.
All room data — areas, volumes, wall types, door positions — locked into one canonical dataset. One truth, zero duplication.
Sabine RT60, Schroeder frequency, room modes, NC curves — all calculated and cross-verified with acoustic simulation. All four rooms pass.
88 pages of build-ready documentation derived from verified source data. Wall elevations, door details, treatment layouts, BOMs — all traceable.
Each production room is a box-in-box construction on a floating floor with a 25mm perimeter isolation gap. Walls rated STC 45-65. Every surface treated to hit its RT60 target.
Acoustic performance isn't subjective. RT60 is measured. NC curves are compared against ASHRAE standards. STC ratings follow ASTM E413. The simulation confirms what the math predicts.

TechTown is building Syria's first technology incubator — a place where startups, creators, and educators come to build the future. MediaVerse is the production wing: the voice booth, the control room, the video stage. Every acoustic decision in this study serves one goal — making this small space a powerhouse that earns its keep and funds the mission.
This isn't just an acoustic study. It's a business plan disguised as engineering documentation.
