CATTAcoustic

CATTAcoustic is a brand and research initiative focused on advances in acoustic measurement, modeling, and product development for music, performance, and architectural applications. The project emphasizes combining practical instrument and room acoustics needs with scientific rigor to support both creators and planners.

The organization develops hardware and software tools, including contact microphones and wireless sensing modules for strings and percussion, room-acoustic measurement systems, and a software suite for spectral analysis, impulse response, and acoustic simulation. These tools are designed to assist musicians, studios, and researchers in quantifying and understanding acoustic behavior.

CATTAcoustic emphasizes open data and collaboration with academic institutions, offering APIs and documentation to integrate with digital audio workstations and measurement rigs. This approach aims to facilitate reproducibility and cross-platform compatibility for researchers and practitioners.

The project originated from a collaboration between audio engineers and musicians, evolving from a university research initiative into a commercially available line of calibration hardware and analytical software. This trajectory reflects an emphasis on practical application alongside theoretical development.

Industry and academia have cited CATTAcoustic in studies of instrument microphonics, reverberation analysis, and acoustic treatment planning; users include independent studios, performance venues, and educational programs. The brand is generally described as contributing tools and data-driven methods to the broader field of acoustics.
