That was my first time to the ‘premises‘ of BEGINS ACOUSTIC (MALAYSIA) which was founded by Ms.Kenix Chua in 2015, an established audio engineer and…
a proponent of Acoustic Treatments in any audio visual space.

Upon entering that ‘premises‘, I noticed its
Quietness,…
I believed that was the result of the many samples of different types of acoustic panels on display therein.
I could enjoy my own Natural Voice,
and have No need to speak louder (than norm) and/or shout to gain audibility.
The event started with a brief introduction by Kenix, then the floor was passed to Mr.TK Han of REFERENCE AUDIO SINGAPORE and YY SOUND SYSTEMS MALAYSIA to introduce the GRYPHON AUDIO DESIGNS (DENMARK) DIABLO 333 integrated amplifier and ISOTEK SYSTEMS (UK) power conditioning and distribution solutions used at the event.
Then (Mr.)Cheng-Chien ‘Rox’ Shih of LUKANG AUDIO (TAIWAN), walked into that same treated ‘premises‘, I noticed that he (and also the previous speakers, Kenix and TK Han) was not holding any mike to address the audience,…he knew that it was not necessary,
…being a Loudspeaker Designer et al.
In addition, he did not raise the volume of his voice but spoke at a Relax and Casual manner and volume,…I was standing at the furthest back and,
could hear him Clearly/ Distinctly.
Then entered the Musical Duo from MALAYSIA, the vocalist Ms.Eve Wong and the guitarist/ producer Mr.Billy Ho, the EB DUET. They casually introduced themselves and explained their intentions for that day. They planned to sing LIVE and Record (into Reel to Reel/ R2R and Direct Stream Digital/ DSD) concurrently,
…not at a dedicated recording space but at that same treated ‘premises‘.
I was surprised that…
Eve Wong has only to Sing Softly at the recording mike,
but yet the audience, myself and my SAMSUNG FOLD HP were able to…
enjoy and capture her singing in Full Bloom
(few videos of their performances at the event were posted at analoguefellowship.com).
When Billy Ho and Kenix playbacked the recordings (both R2R and DSD) of the performances, the audience and myself were very surprised at the result,…
Detail, Crisp, Emotional, Natural, Rich, Dynamic, Energetic,…and Quiet at the Background(!)
The space at the ‘premises‘ could be considered large and open compared to a dedicated recording room for small performances. However, the result from the recordings proved that the acoustic treatments therein were good enough for the task,…
Very Little, if any of the Room Modes was captured in the recording.
There and they have provened to me…
the importance of Acoustic Treatments…
to space/ room for any audio visual system, to Fuly Enjoy and Immerse into the performance thereof.
