Recording studio acoustics that capture sound as performed
Your microphone doesn't only hear the performance. It hears the room and everything outside it. We design and build recording studios where soundproofing and acoustic treatment work together, so every take captures the performance as it should be.

Why recording studio acoustics matter
Why recording studio acoustics matter
The environment influences every sound you capture. Uncontrolled reflections can colour a vocal. Uneven low frequencies can make an instrument sound different. External noise, traffic, voices, and vibrations can sneak into a take.
That is why recording studio acoustics need to do more than absorb sound.
At Spectral Synthesis, we engineer recording studios. Isolation to keep the outside world out and your sound in, and room acoustics to control how sound behaves inside. So what reaches the microphone is the performance and nothing else.

Recording studio acoustic consultation
Every studio starts with the space. We assess its proportions, structure, surroundings, what you plan to record and how you want it to feel. Based on that, we recommend the acoustic approach it needs.
Recording studio acoustic work
Our specialised team fabricates custom acoustic panels in our own workshop and executes the build on site. We use German isolation mounts rather than cheaper substitutes, because materials that fail quietly cost more to fix than to get right.
Recording studio acoustic design
We develop a custom 3D acoustic design for your studio. This covers isolation strategy, room layout, control room and live room separation, material specification, and treatment placement calculated for your room's dimensions.

Spectral Synthesis was founded by Manoj Kumar after decades spent working as a sound engineer across India's film and music industries.
That experience continues to shape how we approach acoustic engineering. Today, together with a specialised team, we’ve created acoustically engineered spaces for families, artists, and institutions across India.
Manoj also runs Soundtech Media, a leading audio engineering institute, since 2004. Its alumni include Anirudh Ravichander, Anand Aravindakshan, Sujith Sreedhar, Ved Shankar, Arun Raj, Praveen Kumar Sivalingam, Sarath Kumar, and S.P. Narayan.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
1. Do I need soundproofing as well as acoustic treatment?
In most recording environments, both matter. Acoustic treatment controls reflections, reverberation, frequency balance, and the behaviour of sound inside the room. Soundproofing reduces sound transmission between the studio and its surroundings. They solve different problems and should be designed together.
2. Do you handle both the control room and the live room?
3. Will treatment make my room sound dead?
4.My studio is next to a busy road or railway line. Is that a problem?
5. Can you build a studio in a room I already have?
6. Can acoustic treatment look good?
