(acoustic) solutions that have shown their mettle Explanation: This sentence is mildly awkward structurally in that Hand und Fuß could also be seen as qualifying the verb instead of the noun, although that seems unlikely in this case. |

2 hrs confidence:
tried and tested Explanation: Mature might also be okay. Both of these suggestions would only work if you know more about the acoustic solution. It's not possible to tell from the sample whether or not these are bespoke solutions, in which case these ideas wouldn't work, or existing solutions that have already been used successfully. The same is possibly true for Michael Martin's suggestion. |

serious solutions (can be taken seriously) Explanation: Drawing on the 'only' in your sentence, I come to 'serious', or as Writeaway suggested 'solid', both of which adapt well to the exclusiveness in the source text. |
