Channel 7 has called on Quash more than once. Both jobs had the same goal: clean, professional audio without rebuilding the rooms.
The problem
Channel 7’s backup studio is used when the main studio is booked out. It had little more than curtains on the walls. Sound bounced around the room, and recordings picked up that echo.
Separately, the mixer in a voiceover booth used by some of Perth’s best-known newsreaders was picking up a high-pitched “ping”. It was coming from reflections within the booth itself.
What we did
- Backup studio: we installed cost-effective acoustic absorption panels behind the existing curtains. The studio kept its look, and the panels took the reverberation out of the room.
- Voiceover booth: we relined the booth, lifted the floor and added acoustic material underneath to stop it resonating.
The result
The backup studio now records clean, usable audio, and the voiceover booth is free of the ping that was reaching the mixer. Both fixes targeted the actual cause, so Channel 7 didn’t pay for a full fit-out.
Tip from Nigel: if your room has hard surfaces, curtains alone rarely fix echo. Absorption behind or on the walls does the heavy lifting, and it can be hidden.
