Perfect room acoustics

Room acoustics - An indispensable design element

Increased requirements to the living environment have led to growing expectations to room acoustics in recent times. Then especially in the construction sector attention has to be paid not only to haptics, but to the complete scope of the hearing faculty as well. No compromises should be made in terms of acoustics, particularly in the following areas: offices, call centres, living rooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, vocal cabins, home cinemas, loudspeakers, HIFI-studios, trade fair construction as well as children- and nursery rooms.

Improve room acoustics with acoustic-absorbers

So-called "acoustic hard" materials are often used in particular in the design and the construction of offices, public spaces - but also in living spaces - . These include concrete, glass and also smooth plastics . All of these materials have influence on the room acoustics and can lead to deterioration. Because the quality of the room acoustics is mainly determined by the reverberation time length of the sound in the room. Generally speaking, the absorption of sound depends on the physical mechanism of the conversion of sound energy into heat.

On account of the porous and/or fibrous structure of the material in porous acoustic absorbers, the vibration of the extent to which the individual air particles are curbed is dependent on the friction loss. The porous absorbers can therefore be used to compensate for the "acoustic hard" materials. These include, for example, textiles, carpets, mineral wool, special acoustic plasters and in particular acoustic-foams.

Acoustic foams, porous absorbers help in the case of too much reverberation

Generally speaking, Acoustic Foams are artificially produced substances with porous cellular structures and a relatively low density. Here a distinction is made between closed cellular and open cellular types. In case of the so-called porous absorbers that are open cellular PUR-foams, the walls between the individual cells are not completely closed and therefore provide an ideal basis for a target oriented acoustic channel.

And at this point our products can help you further. We offer a range of products that do not only significantly improve room acoustics, but also convince because of their style, individuality and beauty. An almost infinite range of options is available to you to optimally configure each room technically, as well as in terms of acoustics and design. The bass absorbers moreover constitute a special form of porous absorbers. You can achieve high efficiency - particularly at low frequencies - if they are purposely placed at the room edges in order to optimise the room modes.
