ABSTRACT A system for modifying an acoustic environment (10), which in an embodiment may be a recording studio, by the provision of modular absorption and/or diffusion elements (12) which can be located at the walls or ceiling of the space constituting the acoustic environment. Each modular element (12) may be one of three types; the first type providing variable absorption, the second type providing variable absorption in a mutually exclusive frequency range to the first type, and the third type providing variable absorption or alternatively diffusion over a broad frequency range. Each modular element (12) contains a local control means (11) to effect the variation, and an external actuation sensor (21) for manual control over each modular element (12). There are also one or more transducers (14) and a noise source (15) located within the space which provide a determination of the actual acoustic environment. All of the modular elements (12), transducers (14) and noise source (15) are interconnected to a remote control means (16) by a data bus (18). The remote control means (16) comprises an I/O controller (17), a processor (24), a memory (25), an input device (20) and a display device (28). The remote control means (16) provides for control over the variable acoustical components within each modular element (12). In one embodiment, the remote control means (16) may be situated in the control room of a recording studio.
