ArtEZ Arnhem conservatory studio building control room and liveroom

Conservatorium ArtEZ in Arnhem was looking for a new control room and liveroom. Since the ArtEZ Conservatory teaches at the highest level, their search for quiet and good-sounding rooms led them to Mutrox.

Conservatorium ArtEZ Arnhem was looking for high sound insulation and good sounding studios. A space in which they could teach driven students without disturbing others. There were also specific wishes regarding room acoustics, which Mutrox followed up and realized.

Mutrox first looked at the best room ratios for control rooms and liverooms before building the studios. Assigning the right room ratios is necessary so that build-up frequencies do not coincide. This makes making the room acoustically correct easier than not taking this into account. Choosing a heavy, bend-slack wall construction gives us control over the energy produced in the room. By using a new high-mass wall system, the resonant frequency in walls and ceiling was reduced, bringing the extinction frequency below the hearing range. The result is a high sound insulation value and a correct experience in the room when music is played there. With resonators and an acoustically absorbing ceiling, the room acoustics in the liveroom were arranged flexibly. This makes the space comfortable for students.

The result was more than successful. The two studios were realized during the vacation shutdown. The very high insulation value allows teaching in the separate rooms without interference from the other room. Both rooms are acoustically dressed with modules suitable for control rooms and liverooms.

The collaboration on this project between ArtEZ and Mutrox worked synergistically. Because we aimed at the highest level, it was inevitable that very impressive classrooms were realized here. With these new studios, ArtEZ conservatory meets the highest standards in teaching talented musicians.

ArtEZ Conservatory of Music provides training at the very highest level. For training the courses, with their new Mutrox custom studios, they meet the highest standards and offer a platform for young talented musicians in a professional manner.
