Acoustic Solutions for Large Spaces

Large volume interior spaces can have potential problems with reverberation, echo effect. This can be especially disadvantageous when the spaces like auditoriums, school halls or sports venues include the use of amplified sound or public address systems. The well-known echo effect can distort speeches, announcements, or performance, potentially causing irritation and reception difficulties for both speaker/performer and audience alike.  The installation of Acoustic Ceiling Panels, or Wall Panels, can help reduce ambient noise, and improve the quality of sound within the room.

Some hard interior surfaces such as masonry, glass, concrete, and even bare flooring can reflect sound waves, which can amplify noise distortion and reverberation. Acoustic Ceiling Panels, such as Sontext Serenity Ceiling and Wall panels can help minimise the distortion effect of reflected sound waves. The benefits these panels are not limited to sound absorption.

The Benefits of Installing Acoustic Ceiling Panels or Wall Panels.

Acoustic Ceiling Panels decrease the echo effect, caused by sound waves reflecting off of hard surfaces like the floors and ceilings. Sontext Serenity Acoustic Ceiling Panels can also improve the aesthetics of any space, because the huge range of sound absorbing facing fabrics on the market allows designers creative freedom to mix, match or change colours and patterns.  Contact Sontext for more information, and assistance in choosing Serenity Acoustic Ceiling Panels and Wall panels for your next project.

Acoustic Wood Panels for Walls

 Australian wood panels. have long been a material of choice for adding character and beauty to interior walls and ceilings. The natural beauty of timber or wood wall linings or ceiling panels can add a look of sophistication and quality to any space, particularly commercial or public areas like shopping centres, foyers, boardrooms, etc. However, hard wall or ceiling lining materials like plaster, concrete, and even plain timber can reflect sound waves. In interiors where speech, announcements or performance commonly occurs, sound quality these spaces can benefit greatly from installing perforated timber or wood panels. Perforating the face of wood panels allows sound to pass through the surface, rather than reflecting back into the space where it can cause reverberation, or distortion, leading to  inferior sound quality. Sontext manufacture Murano Acoustic Wood Panels with slots, grooves or perforations (holes) in regular decorative patterns for just this purpose. Murano Acoustic wood panels for walls  and ceilings have been tested over a range of frequencies with sound absorbing insulation mounted behind the panels. The results are expressed as a noise reduction rating (called NRC, or noise reduction coefficient), for each pattern, thus providing designers and specifiers with a predictable performance measure.

Sontext offer a large range of finishes and perforation patterns in their range of Murano Wood Panels, including natural Australian and exotic timber veneers, hard wearing laminates and lacquer or painted finishes. Depending on volume, Sontext are also able to provide customised sizes and edge treatments to accommodate existing areas and ceiling grid systems.

The Sontext acoustic panel range includes Serenity fabric-faced panels, Murano wood panels, Sonofonic clouds and Serenity Art Panels. For assistance with internal acoustic problems,  or for more information contact Sontext .
