A
Listen to the complaint
Someone can't hear the announcements, or the hall is unusable for assemblies. The complaint is the brief, and it's usually more specific than the paperwork suggests.
DF-04 · Approach
Independent, and paid to say so.
Direct Field sells no equipment and takes no supplier commissions. That is the entire value of an independent assessment — if the answer is that your existing system is fine and needs three hours of setup, there is nothing pulling the recommendation the other way.
Method
B
Measure the room
Swept sine measurements at representative listener positions. STI, T30 and direct-to-reverberant ratio, recorded against seat, height and source so the numbers can be repeated later.
C
Say what it means
A written report in language a business manager can act on, with the measurements attached for anyone who wants to check the work.
D
Fix what can be fixed
Usually alignment, gain structure and equalisation rather than hardware. Where new equipment is genuinely needed, the evidence for it is already in the report.
