PIONEERING VARIABLE ACTIVE ACOUSTICS FOR OVER 30 YEARS
The SIAP Story: A Journey of Innovation
In the 1980s, frustrated by the limitations of existing acoustic enhancement systems, we set out to pioneer a new approach: the System for Improved Acoustic Performance (SIAP). At the time, acoustic technology was still in its infancy, and the idea of transforming a performance space at the touch of a button seemed like a distant dream. But we had a vision: a belief that technology could harness the natural beauty of sound without compromising its integrity.
Our journey began with the Mark I processor, marking our first step in revolutionizing the way sound interacts with space. Over the decades, we have continually evolved, embracing every leap forward in technology while staying true to our core principle: with variable active acoustics we only use natural processes. We’ve always rejected artificial algorithms or methods that produce results not found in nature. Our mission has always been—and will continue to be—enhancing sound in a way that feels authentic and true to the environment.
This vision has been driven by a team of passionate acousticians, musicians, and technical experts, blending a deep understanding of both the science of sound and the art of music. Our team’s unique combination of technical precision and musical intuition is the foundation of everything we do.
WHY SIAP?
SIAP stands out not just for its groundbreaking technical capabilities but also for its deeply personal approach to acoustics. We believe the true magic of sound happens when technical expertise meets artistic expression. Our team’s passion for music and technology ensures that every SIAP system is designed with both the science of acoustics and the art of sound in mind. Unlike many competitors who may focus solely on performance or technology, SIAP prioritizes the human element—the listener’s experience—blending innovation with musical intuition.
At SIAP, we believe our technology is ahead of the curve, a belief reinforced by years of innovation and precise measurements. However, our focus has always been—and will always be—on delivering the best possible experience for our clients. We combine our extensive experience and artistic intuition with scientific precision to ensure our systems deliver the highest level of acoustic performance. By pairing this rigorous approach with a final audition using our ears, we achieve results that are unparalleled in both functionality and authenticity.
We are flexible and open-minded, always ready to collaborate with our customers to create solutions tailored to their specific needs. Our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about thinking alongside the customer to craft the perfect acoustic environment for each venue.
Key Benefits of SIAP Systems
Natural Reverberation: SIAP employs unique technology to generate reverberation through naturally occurring reflections, preserving the authentic balance, accurate localization, and natural timbre of sources on stage.
Measured Acoustic Performance: We measure the key acoustic parameters that define high auditory quality. This ensures that SIAP systems consistently deliver exceptional, measurable performance across various settings.
User-Friendly Operation: The SIAP system is designed to be simple to use, requiring no specialist knowledge. Once installed, it can be controlled with a simple touch on an iPad.
Versatility Across Venues: SIAP’s solutions are adaptable for a wide range of spaces, including theaters, concert halls, cultural centers, auditoria, rehearsal room, places of worship, outdoors, hospitality, arenas, stadiums, sports halls and leisure venues.
Advanced Technology Integration: The SIAP Mark V system and AVA Series is compatible with Dante and MADI, allowing seamless integration into digital environments. SIAP is an open system, welcoming other processors to integrate with the Dante and loudspeaker infrastructure.
By choosing SIAP, venues can transform into multifunctional spaces optimized for various performances, ensuring exceptional sound quality and an immersive auditory experience.
