About

Acousticsis architecture.

Twelve years on the front line of global media acoustics. That depth, brought home to Korea — handled end to end, by one team.

As Head of Studio Operations at IYUNO Media Group, Louis Chung led the build-out of Netflix's and Disney+'s global dubbing studios. Projects that began in Korea and Malaysia extended to the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, the UK, and Mexico — over 100 studio rooms designed and built from the floor up.

Along the way came collaboration with Andy Munro, the world-renowned master of British acoustic design — embedding precision-engineered methodology into every room.

In 2024, that body of measurement, isolation, and room-tuning practice came together as LOUIS ACOUSTIC.

  1. 01

    Start in simulation

    Room response is predicted first in ODEON — RT60, room modes, intelligibility. Acoustics are decided before a wall goes up.

  2. 02

    Built into the structure

    Not panels glued on — wall, ceiling, and floor systems engineered as one.

  3. 03

    Owned to the end

    Post-handover room tuning included. Final results are validated directly against the simulation.

Career

Twelve yearson the floor.

  1. 2008

    IYUNO Media Group · Project Manager

    Entered media acoustics on dubbing and recording studio build projects in Korea and Malaysia.

  2. 2013

    Studio Director · Southeast Asia

    Stood up multilingual dubbing hubs across the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand — leading acoustic design, isolation, and build of recording booths and control rooms.

  3. 2016

    Global expansion

    Extended the footprint into Vietnam, China, India, England, and México. Standardized room specifications and isolation requirements across multinational dubbing studios.

  4. 2022

    Andy Munro collaboration

    Worked with Andy Munro — the world-renowned master of British acoustic design — on IYUNO's Warsaw and LA studios, and co-designed i-dub, a portable recording booth developed during COVID so voice actors locked out of studios could record from home.

  5. 2024

    Founded LOUIS ACOUSTIC

    Twelve years of measurement, isolation, and room tuning — brought home to Korea. Architectural acoustics handled end to end.

Process

Four steps,fully transparent.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Site visit · purpose · budget · schedule. Existing noise floor, NC curve, and RT60 are measured up front with NTi Audio XL3 + M2230 to set the baseline.

  2. 02

    Design

    ODEON simulates room response — RT60, modes, intelligibility (C50, STI), and auralization — before a wall goes up. Structure, isolation, and tuning come together in one architectural set.

  3. 03

    Build

    In-house construction. Stage-by-stage verification with the NTi Audio DS3 dodecahedron source, PA3 amplifier, and XL3 for ISO 3382 reverberation, ISO 16283 sound insulation, and NC rating.

  4. 04

    Tune

    NTi Audio XL3 and REW capture impulse response, waterfall, and modal behavior for final tuning — confirmed against the simulation.
