Acoustic panels are sound absorbing panels placed on walls or ceilings to control and reduce noise, eliminate slap echo and control comb filtering in a room. The objective is to enhance the properties of sound by improving sound quality with sound absorbing panels. Often used to treat recording studio acoustics, church acoustics, home theater acoustics, restaurant acoustics, and listening rooms, the purpose of acoustic panels is to reduce, but not entirely eliminate, resonance within the room. Acoustic panels differ from Bass Traps in that they deal more with the mid and high frequencies in a room. Sound absorption is different than soundproofing, which is typically used to keep sound from escaping a room.
Acoustic treatment is one of the most important aspects of planning and building a room where sound quality and noise control are paramount.
Prime examples are spaces such as recording studios, games rooms, and home theatres.
Without it, you risk excess noise ingress and sound reverberation.
This is why you need to fully understand the concept of acoustic treatment to produce a high end result.
By applying tried and tested methods, you will achieve excellent soundproofing qualities as well as outstanding internal acoustical control.
