The Potahi Marae Acoustic Makeover

The Potahi Marae Wharekai had major acoustic issues with an RT (Reverberation Time) 5 times the recommended range. With many cultural performances hosted here, using the space was extremely difficult for the people of Te Kao.

An Acoustic Appraisal detailed the use of 80 x 50mm Quietspace panels in the Main Space and 20 x panels in the Kitchen area. The Acoustic Solutions Store team transformed the acoustics and ambience of the space, taking the 6-second reverberation time down to 1 second.

Just listen to the difference in Damon’s speech intelligibility before and after the work was completed!

The Kapa haka group, as well as the rest of the community, can now get the most out of the space.

What a great result!

About the

Bridging the gap between manufacturer and consumer.

Acoustic Solutions Store was the brainchild of Nomadtika Finishing Ltd Directors, Damon Hiley and Mike Dunn.

After consolidating 15 years as the #1 Commercial Acoustic Company in Auckland, we realised our services didn’t need to be limited to a face to face interaction with our clients.

The advent of video calls, along with a big push from our manufacturer Autex to innovate more “plug and play” materials, gave us the surety that we can offer our Acoustic Solutions to clients all over the country.

Customised solutions to suit your space, budget and timeframe.

Through a cohesive design consultation and acoustic appraisal process, we provide customised solutions to suit your space, budget and timeframe.

Our team has years of experience in the Acoustics industry as Autex Brand Ambassadors and we know the products we specify are the most effective and highest quality available. 

DIY, Competent Tradesperson, Autex Certified Installer.

Depending on the scale of your job, our products can be installed DIY, with a competent tradesperson or be fitted by an Autex Certified Installer.

All products incorporate recycled materials and can be customised to suit your space, style and function.
