TECHNICAL SPECS & FAQs
1. What are acoustic panels and bass traps?
Acoustic panels and bass traps absorb sound in a room. They minimize reverberations, reflections and resonance, so you only hear sound emitted directly from the source such as from speakers, instruments, or voices in your space.
2. Why buy our products?
It's simple. We produce high quality all-broadband panels. This means that our products can absorb the entire sound frequency spectrum from low to mid to high frequencies. In other words, our products absorb the full range of sound, eliminating as much of the unwanted noise in your environment as possible.
3. What is the difference between acoustic panels and bass traps?
Acoustic panels and bass traps are very similar. The difference is bass traps are thicker, heavier, and denser in order to be able to absorb more of the low frequency (bass) sounds.
4. What kind of materials do you use?
The core of our panels are made with Roxul brand stone wool. Roxul has the necessary weight mass and density to be able to absorb the entire sound frequency spectrum from low-end (bass) to high frequencies. This means it can absorb all the sounds we hear. Roxul is also mold, fire and water resistant.
This is a noise coefficient graph of Roxul showing how well Roxul absorbs sounds at different frequencies when tested.
0 = no absorption at those frequency ranges and 1 is full absorption at those frequency ranges. (The higher the number the better.)
Additional information about Roxul is available here.
The outer fabric we use is 100% polyester with about 25 pin holes per square which makes it acoustically transparent. This means all sounds can pass through the fabric to where the inner Roxul can absorb it.
5. Why don't you use acoustic foam like other companies?
Acoustic foam is light and thin, and therefore cheaper to ship. Because it is inexpensive, some companies use it. However, acoustic foam is inferior because it not all-broadband. This means it only does part of the job of eliminating unwanted noise. It only absorbs less than half the frequency spectrum (less than half of the sounds we can hear). More specifically, it lacks the weight mass and density needed to be able to absorb low end bass frequencies.
