Acoustic Panels Control Reverberation

Acoustics is the science of sound. Acoustic Panels are designed to absorb unwanted sound (what we call noise), in interior spaces. These panels are commonly installed on walls and ceilings to minimise background noise and control reverberation in building interiors. A more descriptive name for these is Sound Absorbing Panels.

Minimising background noise and reverberation is particularly important in spaces that are designed for communication or performance, such as public spaces like auditoriums, concert halls, theatres, and entertainment venues of all kinds. Many kinds of commercial and educational spaces also require the benefits acoustic panels can supply - like boardrooms, recording studios, classrooms and halls. All these spaces involve a 'performance' of some kind - a speaker, music, possibly a public address system, and an audience of listeners. Sound waves reflecting off hard surfaces like masonry, glass and furniture, can cause "echo (reverberation), that in turn cases problems with speech clarity and even listening pleasure. Acoustic Panels provide a simple solution to this problem. They can be easily retrofitted to existing walls and ceilings in most interiors, or incorporated into new designs. The panel area required to overcome a background noise problem will vary according to the intended use of a space. Specialist manufacturers like Sontext can assist in this regard. Sontext can also help in choosing the style, color or pattern of the finished panels to blend with the overall aesthetics of the space.
