ACOUSTICAL FOAM PANELS

ANTHONY andTORREFIEL

Acoustic foam is an open celled foam used for acoustic treatment. It attenuates airborne sound waves by increasing air resistance, thus reducing the amplitude of the waves. The energy is dissipated as heat. Acoustic Foam can be made in several different colors, sizes and thickness.

Acoustic foam comes in a variety of sizes and can be attached to walls, ceilings, doors, and other features of a room to control noise levels, vibration, and echoes.

Many acoustic foam products are treated with dyes and/or fire retardants.

The objective of acoustic foam is to improve the sound quality by removing residual sound in any space. This purpose requires strategic placement of acoustic foam panels on walls, ceiling and floors, effectively eliminating all resonance within the room.

Acoustic enhancement

The objective is to enhance the properties of sound by improving speech clarity and sound quality.For this reason, acoustic foam is often used in recording studios. The purpose is to reduce, but not entirely eliminate resonance within the room.

Acoustic foam is primarily used in recording studios to minimize sound echoes. However, it can perform the same function in home theaters, manufacturing facilities, equipment warehouses, home offices, gymnasiums and auditoriums. It can be placed in any room where an optimal sound mix is desired.
