ACOUSTICS :
-Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and
solids including vibration ,sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an
acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics technology may be called an acoustical engineer. The
application of acoustics is present in almost all aspects of modern society with the most obvious being the audio
and noise control industries.

TYPES OF MATERIALS :

● SOUND ABSORBERS
● SOUND DIFFUSERS
● NOISE BARRIERS
● SOUND REFLECTORS
SOUND ABSORBERS:
-These sound absorbing acoustical panels and soundproofing materials are used to eliminate sound reflections
to improve speech intelligibility, reduce standing waves and prevent comb filtering.

-Typical materials are open cell polyurethane foam, cellular melamine, fiberglass, fluffy fabrics and other porous
materials. A wide variety of materials can be applied to walls and ceilings depending on your application and
environment.

TYPES :

● Acoustical foam panel

● White paintable acoustical wall panels
● Fabric wrapped panels
● Acoustical wall coverings
● Ceiling tiles
● Baffles and banners for ceiling
● Fiberglass blankets and roll

•Following the ribbed pattern. All edges must be butt joined. Do not overcut edges. Cut material to
•Desired lengths, allowing for top and bottom trimming. Wall carpet should be hung
•Straight up. Do not alternately reverse strips.
• Apply a premixed heavy duty adhesive directly to the wall, allowing it to dry to its maximum trackability
• Without it being overly dry.
• Adhesive and do not apply adhesive to the back off.
•Please be sure to follow instructions as provided by the adhesive manufacturer.
5.CEILING TILES :
-Cloudscape Ceiling Tiles absorb noise and block sound transmission. These ceiling tiles are designed to fit into
existing 2' x 2' suspended drop tile ceiling grid systems. They may also retrofit in a 2' x 4' ceiling grid by installing
cross tees. Cloudscape® ceiling tiles may also be ordered as a full 24" x 24" size, un-backed for adhesive
mounting directly to walls or ceilings.

-Ordinary ceilings take on new levels of visual excitement with these sculptured tiles. They are available in five
different patterns plus a non-patterned look to enable you to "mix and match" for your own designs. Available Sizes:
24" x 24" (nominal) Specify grid when ordering: 9/16 or 15/16.
6.BAFFLES AND BANNERS:
-Baffles and Banners are designed to solve acoustical problems economically in any large cubic volume space such
as arenas, gymnasiums, theaters, restaurants, and auditoriums. Reverberation times that range from 4 to 9 seconds
can be reduced to 1/2 to 2 seconds. Speech intelligibility is greatly improved and sound intensity levels are
reduced simultaneously by 3 to 12 decibels.

BAFFLES :

-Baffles are an economical way to reduce sound pressure levels and lower reverberation times in large spaces such as
gymnasiums, theaters, restaurants, health and fitness clubs, etc. Reverberation times can be lowered from a RT60 of
4 - 9 seconds down to a RT60 of 0.5 - 2 seconds. Speech intelligibility is greatly improved and sound intensity levels
can be simultaneously reduced by 3 to 12 decibels.

-These baffles are easily suspended from existing open truss and pre- engineered suspension systems. They are
designed to hang in a vertical fashion, allowing free flow of air and integrate exceptionally well with existing
sprinklers, lighting and HVAC systems.
BANNERS :
-Speech intelligibility is greatly improved and sound intensity levels can be simultaneously reduced by 3 to 12
decibels.

-Banners are suspended from ceilings, bar joists or pre-engineered suspension systems. They are designed to hang
in a horizontal or in a catenary fashion using edge stiffeners or deck mounted flat with washer plates.
7.SOUND DIFFUSERS :
-These devices reduce the intensity of sound by scattering it over an expanded area, rather than eliminating the
sound reflections as an absorber would. Traditional spatial diffusers, such as the polycylindrical (barrel) shapes also
double as low frequency traps. Temporal diffusers, such as binary arrays and quadratics, scatter sound in a manner
similar to diffraction of light, where the timing of reflections from an uneven surface of varying depths causes
interference which spreads the sound.

QUADRA PYRAMID DIFFUSER :

-This diffuser generates a uniform polar response over a broad frequency range using a pre-rotated pyramidal
pattern to create 16 angles of reflection. PYRAMIDAL DIFFUSER •This traditional industry workhorse disperses
sound uniformly over a broad frequency range. A quick solution to reduce flutter echo. DOUBLE DUTY DIFFUSER.

-These Polycylindrical Diffusers do twice the work. They scatter sound and function as a bass trap. QUADRATIC
DIFFUSER A true quadratic residue diffuser designed for uniform broadband scattering and reducing High-Q
reflections.
8.NOISE BARRIERS :
-These materials range from dense materials to block the transmission of airborne sound to devices and
compounds used to isolate structures from one another and reduce impact noise.

-Sound barrier materials are used to reduce the transmission of airborne sound. The BlockAde series of products
include the standard one pound per square foot non reinforced barrier, transparent material when observation or
supervision is required, reinforced vinyl to create a hanging barrier partition. COMPOSITES.

-Composite materials are manufactured from combinations of various materials from open and closed celled foams
to quilted fiberglass and barrier. These products are used to block and absorb sound for machine enclosures as well
as blocking airborne sound and impact noise. Some of these products include Composite Foams, StratiQuilt Blankets
and Floor Underlayment. VIBRATION CONTROL.

-Vibration control products are used to absorb vibration energy and prevent structural noise transmission. These
include vibration damping compounds and vibration pads, isolation hangers, and resilient clips. They improve
sound transmission loss.
9.FABRICS :
-Acoustical fabrics are typically used to either absorb sound or as a cover for acoustical panels. Some fabrics can also
be used as a speaker grill cloth or as a finish on other types of materials. SOUND CHANNELS WALL FABRICS

-Acoustical wall fabric is a dimensional fabric that offers excellent acoustical properties, unmatched fade resistance,
and a fire/smoke retardant class A rating. Sound channels is resistant to moisture, mildew, rot, bacteria, and is non-
allergenic. Produced with no voc’s

heavy metals or formaldehyde, it's the perfect acoustic fabric for offices, classrooms, conference centers or any area
where speech intelligibility is a critical factor. GUILFORD OF MAINE

-Guilford of Maine Fabric is and acoustically transparent fabric used to cover many of our products including
acoustical wall panels, diffusers, and corner traps. Fabric is also sold separately as speaker grill cloth, wall covering
and for other field applications.
