Acoustic Design

Architectural Acoustic Design by Jürgen Strauss for Studios, Concert Halls & Institutions

Acoustic Design for Professional & Critical Spaces

STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK designs reference acoustic environments for studios, concert halls, research institutions, and critical listening spaces worldwide.

Drawing on decades of experience in loudspeaker and room acoustics, Jürgen Strauss develops rooms and monitoring systems as one coherent whole. Each project is conceived in direct relation to geometry, materials, monitoring, workflow, and long-term acoustic stability.

Acoustic design extends beyond surface treatment — it is full-system room performance engineering.

Using state-of-the-art technology, Jürgen and his team evaluate:

Room Simulation and Auralization

Advanced modeling of how a space will measure and sound before final construction or commissioning

Room Geometry and Layout Strategy

Listening position, speaker position, workflow

Early-Reflection Control and Imaging Integrity

Reflection mapping and surface strategy

Modal Control and Low-Frequency Behavior

Room proportions, trapping approach, boundary strategy

Isolation and Noise Strategy

As required for professional environments

Commissioning and Final Voicing

Measurement and critical listening in the finished space

STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK designs acoustic environments for clients who require the highest level of performance:

Mastering, Mixing & Recording Studios · Film Scoring Stages · Concert Halls & Performance Venues · Cinemas and Screening Rooms · Museums, Galleries & Exhibition spaces · Universities & Research Laboratories · Immersive & Spatial Audio Facilities · Residential & Audiophile Listening Environments

Acoustic Design Process with Jürgen Strauss

Jürgen’s approach is continuously refined through feedback between measurement, simulation, and critical listening in real rooms used by top-level professionals.

The result is an acoustic environment that looks and feels right, while delivering uncompromising accuracy, enduring quality, and artistic integrity.
