Why Hire a Consultant

 

TA offers a broad range of professional engineering services including acoustical consulting (room acoustics, sound isolation, and mechanical noise and vibration control) and technical system engineering (audio systems, video systems, and control systems).

The concept of acoustical consulting first originated during the late 1800's but did not become an established industry for several years.  Wallace Clement Sabine, the first to scientifically analyze acoustics,  advised architects in designing new structures as well as providing considerations for existing buildings. 

As the world becomes more densely populated, people  require better sound isolation and acoustical privacy.  As audio technology improves, people want better room acoustics.   Depending on the purpose of the room, TA designs for music, speech clarity, sound isolation, mechanical noise control, speech privacy or a combination of all of these.

Audiovisual and sound system design is a large role of the acoustical consultant. Diversification into government, theme parks, law firms, computer graphics, home media systems, etc., allow us to react to the newest high-tech presentation directions.

Today, TA acoustical consultants measure noise and offer solutions that are based on extensive knowledge of products.  TA is not associated with the sale of any product; all recommendations are unbiased.

A growing number of our projects require computer-based networks and information systems management, especially for tenant improvement projects in the 5 to 100 person office.   Network consulting services, for both design and ongoing support, completes our efforts.
