Performance

The Decor panel is able to exhibit this exceptional absorption and diffusion by ingeniously incorporating 75mm offset chrome mounts which significantly increase the panels performance by; 

1- Increasing the amount of the absorbing core exposed to incident sound waves. 

Standard diffuser/absorption panels have traditionally been mounted with the back face impaled, suspended off or glued onto walls effectively preventing the back face from absorbing sound waves. The Decor panel’s offset mounting results in the entire back face of the absorber core being exposed to waves bouncing off the back of the wall significantly increasing the amount of absorption of each panel.

2- Introducing an airgap between the panel and the mounting surface

By offsetting the panel away from the wall the performance range of absorption is significantly increased. The quarter wavelength principle means the panel is able to absorb lower mid frequencies that standard panels just aren’t able to deal with. 

3- Incorporating panel resonance to soak up lower mid and bass frequencies

The offset panel and foam assembly is mounted in a manner that allows the entire panel resonate when incident waves hit the panel. The dampening provided by the foam and resonating panel further improve the absorption performance of the panel.

 Design

Pro-coustix Decor panels provide unique sound wave diffusion by breaking up the surface against which the sound waves  incident on the panel are diffused improving  the overall acoustic in your  room.

We’ve tucked the foam into the back of panel making it barely visible from the sides when mounted against your walls. Leaving you with a clean crisp panel that will transform the sound in your room.

As more and more people are working from home, creating a productive and comfortable workspace has become increasingly important. One aspect of a home office that can greatly impact productivity is the acoustics of the space. Acoustic treatment is the process of improving the sound quality of a room, and it can greatly enhance the working environment for home workers. In this article, we will explore the basics of acoustic treatment for the home worker.

What is acoustic treatment?

Acoustic treatment is the process of improving the sound quality of a room by reducing unwanted noise and improving the acoustics of the space. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including soundproofing, sound absorption, and diffusion.

Why is acoustic treatment important for the home worker?

When working from home, there can be many sources of unwanted noise that can distract and disrupt your focus. Traffic noise, noisy neighbors, and even the sound of your own voice bouncing off hard surfaces can all contribute to a distracting work environment. By implementing acoustic treatment in your home office, you can greatly reduce these unwanted noises and create a more peaceful and productive workspace.

Types of acoustic treatment

There are several types of acoustic treatment that can be used to improve the sound quality of a room. The most common methods are sound absorption, soundproofing, and diffusion.

Sound absorption involves using materials that absorb sound waves, such as acoustic panels, curtains, and carpeting. These materials are designed to reduce the amount of sound that bounces off hard surfaces, such as walls and floors, and can greatly improve the acoustics of a room.

Soundproofing involves creating a barrier that prevents sound from entering or leaving a space. This can be achieved through the use of soundproof curtains, acoustic doors and windows, and insulation materials. While soundproofing can be expensive and time-consuming, it can greatly reduce the amount of outside noise that enters your workspace.

Diffusion involves scattering sound waves in a room to create a more even distribution of sound. This can be achieved through the use of diffusers, which are designed to reflect sound in multiple directions, rather than allowing it to bounce off a single surface.

How to implement acoustic treatment in your home office

The first step in implementing acoustic treatment in your home office is to identify the sources of unwanted noise in your space. This could include traffic noise, the sound of your own voice, or the noise of your neighbors. Once you have identified these sources of noise, you can begin to implement acoustic treatment to reduce their impact.

One easy and cost-effective way to improve the acoustics of your home office is to add acoustic panels to your walls. These panels are designed to absorb sound waves and can greatly reduce the amount of sound that bounces off hard surfaces. Acoustic panels come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can choose the ones that best fit your space.

Another way to improve the acoustics of your home office is to add soundproof curtains to your windows. These curtains are designed to block outside noise and can greatly reduce the amount of traffic noise or other outside noise that enters your workspace.

Conclusion

Acoustic treatment is an important aspect of creating a productive and comfortable workspace for the home worker. By implementing sound absorption, soundproofing, and diffusion techniques, you can greatly improve the acoustics of your home office and reduce the impact of unwanted noise. Whether you work from home full-time or part-time, investing in acoustic treatment can greatly enhance your productivity and help you stay focused and motivated throughout the day.

If you’re a podcaster, you know that good audio quality is essential. No matter how great your content is, if your audio quality is poor, your listeners will quickly tune out. One of the key components of good audio quality is proper acoustic treatment. In this article, we’ll explore why acoustic treatment is important for podcasters, and give you some tips on how to do it effectively.

Why is acoustic treatment important for podcasters?

When you record your podcast, your microphone picks up not only your voice, but also any sound reflections in the room. These reflections can cause a range of problems, from a hollow or boxy sound, to echoes and reverb. These issues can be distracting for listeners and make your content less enjoyable to listen to.

Acoustic treatment can help to minimize these sound reflections and improve the overall quality of your audio. By adding sound-absorbing materials to your recording space, you can reduce the amount of sound that bounces around the room and create a more focused and clear sound.

How to do acoustic treatment for podcasting

There are a few key things to keep in mind when setting up acoustic treatment for your podcasting space:

1. Identify the problem areas: Start by identifying the areas of your recording space where sound reflections are most noticeable. This may be a room with hard floors and walls, or an echoey space with high ceilings. You can test the acoustics of your space by clapping your hands and listening for echoes.

2. Choose the right materials: Once you’ve identified the problem areas, you can choose the right materials to address them. Sound-absorbing materials such as acoustic foam, blankets, or rugs can help to reduce sound reflections and improve the overall sound quality.

3. Place the materials strategically: It’s important to place the sound-absorbing materials strategically to get the most benefit. For example, you may want to place foam panels on the walls behind your microphone, or hang blankets or curtains around the recording area to create a makeshift sound booth.

4. Test and adjust: Once you’ve added the acoustic treatment, it’s important to test and adjust to get the best possible sound. You may need to experiment with the placement of the materials or add more or less to achieve the desired effect.

Conclusion

Acoustic treatment is an essential part of creating high-quality audio for podcasters. By addressing the sound reflections in your recording space, you can create a clear, focused sound that will keep your listeners engaged. By following these tips, you can effectively set up acoustic treatment for your podcasting space and take your audio quality to the next level.

Hyped up acoustics is a leading supplier to the film and television industry specialising in offering profiled foam for movie and TV sets. Our latest contract will see our foam tiles specially profiled for the flight control room of a popular Netflix  currently being filmed.

Our product was chosen because of the dark grey colour of our ultraflex foam and the responsiveness with which we were able to respond to the design and delivery of the customer’s panels.

Prior to approaching us the film studio had contacted all UK converters who were only able to provide them with a light grey foam which didn’t meet the design requirements even then the  6 week lead time  was prohibitive. 

Hyped up  acoustics worked with the film studio to design the profile to be used on their set, because the standard off the shelf panels didn’ t meet the design brief.   It is this ability to work directly with our design studio coupled with our rapid turn around times that eventually led to us securing the contract.

Do you need foam profiles for your movie or television set? If so please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Autism in short is a complex, lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person’s social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation.

Going by the name it is clear that there are a number of ways that autism manifests itself in children with some being oversensitive (hyper sensitive) and others being under sensitive (hypo sensitive) to various sensory stimuli around including sound.

From the work we have done with special needs schools it is clear that there is an important role that acoustic treatment plays in helping children who are over sensitive to sound. While acoustic treatment may not stop the sounds entering or leaving a room the absorption of sound that is resonant in spaces can go some way in making children feel safer and improve their overall wellbeing.

In the home your autistic child may for example avoid going to the kitchen or entering the hallway  simply because of the excessive stimulation they get from these rooms, which are generally very bright and reverberant. Modern interior decor with laminated flooring, bare walls and minimalistic furnishings can further exacerbate the situation for anyone who is hyper sensitive to sound. Creating an environment that is both uncomfortable and unpleasant.

There are simple solutions which could include using noise cancelling ear phones, ear plugs or ear defenders to block out excessive noise. However, anyone who has used these knows how cumbersome it is to have to wear this as you go about your day, and that’s for adults leave alone children. Furthermore these solutions aren’t necessarily socially friendly with the user being cut off from those around them reducing their social interaction and thereby creating even more issues.

A more practical solution is to acoustically treat spaces that are regularly used to reduce the resonance and reflection of sound waves, creating spaces that feel quieter and cosy. Where cost is an issue treating a room which can be used as a calming space can help deal with the constant auditory over stimulation around the house.

Acoustic treatment may take many forms including using simple soft furnishing, carpets, rugs and curtains however these can only go so far  in improving the acoustics of a room. In most acoustically bright rooms the biggest culprit is the ceiling, with high ceilings multiplying the issue several fold.

The use of purpose design acoustic materials such our Melaflex acoustic panels which are easily mounted onto ceilings and walls will significantly improve the absorption of reflected sound waves creating spaces in any room making the spaces much more pleasant for anyone with hyper sensitivity to sound.

Melaflex foam lends itself well to indoor use for a number of reasons namely;

• It is extremely light and can be added retrospectively using non destructive methods to any surface including listed buildings.
• Mounting of melaflex panels is easily accomplished with impalers or spray adhesive. This DIY acoustic solution drastically reduces the cost of acquiring and benefiting from acoustic treatment in your home.
• Melaflex foam is supplied in brilliant white or light grey meaning the panels will blend perfectly with most interior walls or ceilings diligently carrying out their work of improving the acoustics in the room they are installed in without interfering with the interior decor or aesthetics or your rooms.
• Unlike fibreglass panels, melaflex panels can be shaped into any 3 D shape, with profiles being cut to match existing features or to introduce interesting aesthetics to the room they are installed in.
• Melaflex foam is fibre free and doesn’t need any special precautions whilst handling it. Unlike fibreglass it doesn’t release fibres in the air which are known to cause irritations.
• Finally melaflex foam is a Class ‘0’  fire rated meeting the most stringent fire ratings out there lending themselves well to use in rooms like kitchens.

Acoustic treatment FAQs

How much acoustic treatment will I need?

This depends on the size of the bare surfaces you have in your living space. Typically absorption of 30% will make a marked improvement in the acoustics of your living space with every additional bit of treatment improving further the acoustics.

Where should I place the acoustic treatment?

Because of the unique properties of melamine foam it can be punctured by curious hands we recommend installing the panels on the ceiling and above door height this will ensure the panels are out of reach of anyone curious enough to try and investigate the panels which could damage the panels.

Does the white foam get discoloured?

No Melamine foam will retain its bright white colour for years unlike polyurethane foam which starts to brown in days as it starts to oxidise when exposed to sunlight resulting in unsightly looking yellowish foam.

How should I clean the panels once installed

Melamine foam panels are simple to clean with a duster or lightly vacuumed over. Care should be taken not to brush hard against the panels as this can result in the structure getting damaged.
