Audio Video Term

NRC Rating

NRC Rating is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

NRC Rating is noise reduction coefficient, a rating that indicates how much sound a material absorbs on average.

Example of NRC Rating

A theater can use acoustic panels at reflection points and bass traps in corners to improve dialogue clarity and low-frequency control. In that kind of Davis room acoustics project, the term NRC Rating would describe noise reduction coefficient, a rating that indicates how much sound a material absorbs on average. Davis would use that understanding to account for panel placement, bass control, reflection points, speaker calibration, and room finish coordination, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
