Sound panels are made of core material designed to captured and convert unwanted sound wave reflections within a room. This lowers the level of ambient echo within a space, and in turn produces greater clarity to original sound. As a result, music sounds better, human voice is more intelligible, crowd noise subsides, and rooms are rendered more user friendly. From worship to dining, teaching to entertainment, cleaning a room acoustically is a great investment in the space, rendering it more user friendly.
Sound panels are made of two core materials…either foam panels or compressed fiberglass panels. In either case, as the air born sound wave enters into a panel, whether wall or ceiling mounted within a room, the pores of the foam or the fibers of the fiberglass board vibrate. As the sound wave continues to enter into either panel, the vibrations increase, producing friction between the pores or the fibers. That friction you would recognize has heat. The sound energy has been converted to kinetic energy, which in turn, dissipates unnoticed out of the room. What the panel allows to reflect back into the room depends on how thick the panel is and how many panels are introduced in aggregate into the space. A proper amount of material is needed in order to capture and convert the right level of echo and keep the sound up to the mark.
