An innovative way to bring sound experiences to the golden standard
Fixed the “Circle of Confusion “ by aligning the response with our ears!
Say goodbye to your "Target Curve"!
Why do you need Timbre Chart Tuning calibration?
Sound System Calibration is a process that people have often overlooked. It has a huge impact on the outcome of the overall sound quality, which has been used in the audio industry for decades.
- Significant degradation in sound quality occurs as audio moves from professional studios to consumer sound systems, often losing the original creative intent.
- The most effective way to fix the issue is to align the responses of all systems by calibration methods, in order to preserve sound quality and authenticity.
- Traditional calibration techniques that rely solely on machine measurements have failed to maintain consistent responses, as they do not account for differences between measurement equipment and human hearing perception.
- Kino Acoustics' Timbre Chart Tuning (TCT) method directly aligns the sound system's response with the our own perceptual hearing, using a personalized "Timbre Chart" as the reference.
- The Timbre Chart is a set of noise tones created by quantifying our hearing curve, similar to how color charts serve as a reference for display calibration in the visual domain.
These problems also lead to the “Circle of Confusion”, which makes the problem even harder to solve.
Timbre Chart Tuning method is the solution!

Spectral/Spatial Response Correction (with Timbre Chart Tuning method)
Timbre Chart Tuning method for any non-anechoic room
A new technically advanced method that can only be found with us.
Specific Channel Balance for any Reverberant Room
The traditional C-weighting Channel Balance won’t work with our Timbre Chart Tuning Method. We use other SPL measurements to keep the level standard and balanced in the reverberant rooms.
Phase/Time Alignment for the reference listening position
We use every measure to keep the phase linear (including FIR filter design, coaxial speaker drivers) to achieve “Auditory Proximity” if possible.

Speaker Configuration Design for Sonic Image Reconstruction
Perfectly balancing between sound propagation coverage and sonic image reconstruction. We have a tangible illustration for designing a speaker configuration that can take full advantage of the benefits of the “object-based audio” in the cinema immersive audio.
Custom-made Sound System Design
No matter what hardware you choose to use, we design any complexity of sound system with the highest cost-effective approach.
Speaker Array Design
We have our own calculations for designing the best possible speaker array (including Uncoupled Array) to achieve high-quality sound for a large listening area. Our Subwoofer Array Design can also eliminate Room Modes through our sophisticated positioning.
