About Standapart
Having worked within the Audio Visual (AV) industry for 15 years, Steve Sear founded Standapart Limited in 2015 with a mission to support & assist AV integrators, (initially), with tackling issues of poor room acoustics within meeting rooms, conference rooms and classrooms.
Steve had previously recognised that there existed a clear void between architects & designers, AV integrators and the end clients when in came to claiming ownership for the room acoustics within meeting rooms and collaboration spaces especially.
Addressing room acoustic issues correctly requires a process that draws upon a series of skill sets and knowledge that need to be brought together. This void in ownership appeared to occur when all the following factors could not be provided by same contractor.
- Fundamental knowledge of sound and sound behaviour.
- Understanding of build and construction materials and how sound interacts with them.
- Proper test equipment to perform site surveys and room acoustic measurements.
- Knowledge and understanding of different types of acoustic products and solutions and how best the apply them.
- Knowledge of audio-visual technology and the environmental conditions they require for optimal performance.
- Ability to design acoustic solutions that will comply with corporate branding and/or integrate with existing interior design narratives.
- Knowledge and resources to demonstrate to end clients the effects and benefits of applying acoustic treatment.
- Knowledge and skill sets to install specific room acoustic solutions
“If you are serious about enhancing user experience, you cannot afford to ignore the room acoustics”
Standapart Limited set out to bring all these disciplines and skillsets together under one roof in order to provide a complete service to our client. We are happy to fill that void, often liaising between designers, technology providers and end clients.
Since we began our own knowledge and experience has evolved, as has our reputation for delivering products and solutions that work among many repeat clients.
From work purely with AV integrators from the outset, we now also support numerous Design & Build practises as well as collaborating with other room acoustic consultants and specialists.
