Artcoustic & CEDIA’s RP22 – Immersive Audio Design Recommended Practice

CEDIA’s RP22 is a significant development in the world of immersive audio, setting new industry standards for home cinema and audio system design. This set of guidelines offers a clear framework for achieving various levels of audio performance, from basic artistic intent to the highest levels of immersive experience that rival or exceed commercial cinema standards.

By defining 21 different performance parameters and four distinct performance levels, RP22 empowers integrators and clients alike to make more informed decisions about audio system design. These measurable and transparent guidelines can be adapted to any room size, layout, or budget, ensuring that the end result is not just good, but optimal for the space.

At Artcoustic, we are excited to incorporate the RP22 guidelines into our design and installation processes. Our customised audio analysis produces highly accurate acoustic noise maps and SPL evaluations, based on the RP22 guidelines. This approach provides essential data and information for clients to make informed decisions, avoid expensive installation mistakes, and ensures a transparent, differentiated process that delivers a truly superior audio experience.
