IAC LAUNCHES ‘GREEN’ VOICE-OVER BOOTH AT IBC 2005
IAC of Winchester, UK is bringing what is believed to be the world’s first
‘green’ Voice-Over Booth to Stand 11.539 at IBC 2005 in Amsterdam this
September.
Developed at IAC’s R&D facility in New York, USA, post industrial organic
fibre is used as an environmentally-friendly acoustic infill within the Booth’s
structural panels. The infill is sourced in the UK.
IAC Voice-Over Booths, as well as full-scale studios and editing suites etc.,
are all constructed using the company’s patented ‘Moduline’ system.
Acoustically-rated, modular acoustic panels form the walls, floors, ceilings.
Each panel is 100mm thick and filled with the green infill that itself delivers a
range of ‘green’ benefits: the manufacturing process uses far less energy than
the fibreglass insulation alternative and it has mostly recycled content. It is
non-toxic, and fire-, fungi-, and corrosion resistant; and, importantly, it
provides equivalent acoustic and thermal performance.
The Moduline panels are fabricated from steel face sheets and are
acoustically and structurally joined together in a way that ensures the acoustic
integrity of the Booth is maintained.
An IAC acoustic Noise-Lock® door and window are used in the Booth, all
preserving the acoustic performance of the environment. The door has two
sets of self-aligning magnetic seals and a bevelled floor threshold with double
compression seals; the windows are either double or quadruple glazed.
The Green Booth comes with a silent ventilation system supplying 25 litres of
air per second and full electrics and an access point for technical wiring. With
fabric covered walls, stylish carpets and finish, the Green Voice-Over Booth is
an essential requirement for any broadcasting operation.
Six standard models are available although the more usual procedure is that
Booths are customised in order to best fit the customer’s premises and
particular acoustic requirements.
