Room acoustics – invisible, but indispensable

Room acoustics are like invisible ocean currents – we can’t smell, taste, see or touch them. Nevertheless, it has enormous power, as it has a considerable influence on our well-being.

But what is the secret of good room acoustics?

It is crucial to know when which product should be used in which combination and position for the respective room type and usage characteristics. When this knowledge is paired with experience, the result is an unexpected treasure trove of expertise.

Simple basics that you can still remember:

Absorbers, such as our apn^® Vinta ceiling panels, reduce reverberation and echoes. They absorb the sound energy that is carried into the room by a sound source. Physically, they convert this sound energy into heat so that the sound intensity decreases and the sound is attenuated.

In contrast, diffusers scatter the sound waves in different directions instead of absorbing them. This leads to a diffuse transmission of sound in the room and prevents flutter echoes. With our acoustic baffles from the apn Lamella^® series, we combine both advantages. They act both as absorbers and diffusers, as they break up the sound in the speech-relevant area like wave breakers.
