Kassius
A comprehensive drawing set for installations where the acoustic and technical demands exceed a standard scope. Relevant audio criteria are evaluated against the stated RP22 target at design stage. Supports configurations to 17.8.10 and beyond.
When the physics are this exacting, approximation is not an option.
The Kassius package is produced for projects where the acoustic performance expectations, speaker count, construction complexity, or client brief require analysis beyond what a standard design scope can accommodate. Every decision is documented with the rigour that the installation demands.
Head Position
The reference seating position is placed to minimise interaction with room modes. In larger, more complex rooms this analysis is more demanding, boundary interactions multiply, and the consequences of a misplaced seat are harder to recover from downstream.
Screen Size
Screen geometry is derived from viewing distance, display technology, luminance, aspect-ratio strategy and sightlines. Those video decisions are documented separately from RP22's immersive-audio criteria.
Speaker Layout
At advanced channel counts, speaker placement becomes a three-dimensional engineering problem. Azimuth, elevation and distance are calculated against the chosen format guidance and relevant RP22 spatial criteria; codec support remains an equipment and layout decision.
Kassius Deliverables
Advanced Speaker Configurations
High-performance configurations from low channel count through to 17.8.10 and beyond. Deploying Trinnov Altitude 16/32 or StormAudio Dante AES67 AoIP platforms, with detailed understanding of capability, the Trinnov immersive audio whitepaper, and its relationship to the CEDIA RP22 documentation.
RP22-Informed Design Analysis
Applicable spatial, dynamics and timbre criteria are evaluated against the project's stated design target. Remaining assumptions and items requiring completed-room measurement are identified rather than presented as verified.
Advanced Room Correction Integration
Speaker positions can be designed to align with room correction platforms including Dirac Active Room Treatment, Dirac Bass Control, or Trinnov's Waveforming technology, maximising the performance available from each system.
Infrasonic Subwoofer Integration
Where the brief calls for it, infrasonic subwoofer integration is included, documenting placement, loading, and the infrastructure requirements for frequencies that are felt rather than heard.
Advanced Isolation Construction
Comprehensive construction details for acoustic isolation, wall, ceiling, and floor assemblies specified with sufficient detail for a builder to price and execute without interpretation.
~25 Pages of Detail
Approximately 25 pages of drawings and documentation. This is the document that the installer, builder, and acoustic consultant all work from. It is produced so that each trade has precisely what it needs, no more, no less.

Stage 00 · Before we meet
Share your board.
Share your own Pinterest board with us: seating, timber, stone, lighting, colour, and the rooms you keep returning to. Send it before the first conversation.
It tells us in five minutes what an hour of questions would not, and gives every later design decision a reason.
01 · The conversation
You describe the room. We tell you what is actually possible in it.
What exists at the end
An honest constraint list
What we need from you
- A room plan or sketch; any stage is enough
- Length, width and ceiling height, or permission to measure them
- Whether any existing windows need to be retained
- Favourite brands, rooms or references from your initial research
The document that precedes the installation.
Tell us about the room, the codec targets, and the construction stage. We will confirm whether the Kassius scope is appropriate, or whether we need to discuss something more tailored.
