TIDES Hong Kong is a purpose-built venue to accommodate the demands of modern music tours. Designed with fully integrated touring infrastructure and production capabilities, it is the only medium sized venue with these features in the region.
Situated within a busy urban area with residences as close as 6 meters away, this venue demanded a sophisticated acoustic approach to manage the elevated sound levels and deep low-frequency output from large subwoofers.
Our team utilised a combination of 3D room acoustic modelling to simulate sound distribution within the venue, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models to evaluate and mitigate music-induced vibrations and other acoustic tools to design the venue to maximise music quality and guest experience.
A specialised secondary ceiling using Aluminium Honeycomb sandwich panels and cavity membrane absorbers were installed into the venue, marking the first time Aluminium Honeycomb has been used for acoustic control. Additional concrete walls, acoustic doors, and noise absorbers further insulate the venue and minimise flutter vibrations, improving sound quality within the venue without compromising the surrounding residential towers.
Delivering innovative acoustic strategy to transform the venue in collaboration with stakeholders, contractors, architects, and IT/AV teams has allowed us in collaboration with Live Nation to set a strong example for acoustic solutions within Hong Kong event spaces.
