Void Acoustics

Void Acoustics makes loudspeakers, subwoofers and amplification for installed and performance sound. Its equipment can work alongside custom cabinets in a larger venue system.

Design & approach

Void Acoustics explicitly designs loudspeakers to be seen as well as heard. Its materials include sculpted fibreglass and natural-wood finishes for interiors and hospitality spaces. This allows a designer to coordinate visual presence with an installation’s acoustic needs, while the cabinet family and system configuration determine the actual performance.

Inside the system

Public Records has several distinct installations. The indoor Sound Room combines Void Nexus XL subwoofers, OJAS quad-15 slot-loaded midbass cabinets, Altec 1505B multicell horns and Faital supertweeters. Void and BGW amplification works with BSS processing; four Technics SL-1200MK2s and four Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2s accompany a custom Isonoe mixer. The Bar Room uses replica Altec 816 midbass cabinets, OJAS cabinets with 500 Hz horns and Altec high-frequency drivers, plus Void Venu 115 subwoofers. Crown and BGW amplification accompanies analogue crossovers, with two SL-1200MK2s, two CDJ-2000NXS2s and an Isonoe mixer at the booth. The outdoor Nursery has an OJAS × NNNN fully horn-loaded four-way installation. A later Atrium installation uses six OJAS × NNNN ON M I assemblies and eight TL18 subwoofers. These room-specific systems represent different chapters and spaces, rather than components of one signal chain.
