The Picturedrome
DeadSounds was called in to sort out the acoustics of this old cinema in Northampton. Now used as a live music venue and restaurant, there was much room for improvement. Panels were fitted to the walls and ceiling and the sound was transformed.

Sound absorbing baffles on the ceiling.
Soft Wall panels match the paint colour and are protected from damage by wooden rails.
The panels catch sound travelling in both directions, adding to their efficiency.
Charles Bradlaugh
Bar and Music Venue. The sound during live acts and DJs was very harsh and loud due to the lack of absorbent surfaces. Apart from the curtains, all baffles are ceiling mounted, minimising visual impact.
