Why are music venues better for concerts than others? Though our eyes might be captivated by the lovely ornate interior of a historic auditorium or the contemporary architecture of a concert hall, our ears are the best and truest judges. For years, the O’Neill Engineered Systems has worked to enhance music spaces for rehearsal and performance. Two vital acoustical concepts, echo and reflection of sound and echo play vital roles in determining what our ears hear and how good a venue sounds. This week’s post will discover every concept and a related product designed to positively impact it.  Reflection of sound- Emphasizing sound with shells Just like bouncing off a mirror, sound waves reflect off hard surfaces within a performance space including the ceiling, floor and walls.  Echo- Curbing sound with Banners Another vital acoustical concept for performance spaces is echo, which is the persistence of sound in a confined space. Sound waves radiate through the air until they str...

Home theatre sound reducing panels are designed to control the sound that echoes across the room, prevent the sound from bouncing off the walls, absorb sound better, ad lessen flutter echoes. When the theatre concept for the home was not as popular as it is these days, acoustic panels were just built to soundproof specific rooms and enhance the sound that echoes across it. They generally come in dull colors and were not at all impressive to the eye. These days, these sound absorbers have not just become design friendly but also become more readily available in vibrant colors and various sizes. They can be mixed and matched to accomplish enticing theatre rooms but can still create the best sound and the top level of acoustics. If plain panels don’t interest you and want to be more innovative, there are now customized and printed acoustic art panels for transformer sound . Meanwhile, if you want to go eco-friendly, there are also environment-friendly sound absorbing panels, which are us...

Sound isolation is the technique by which a room is separated from outside and generally undesired noise. To accomplish this, a good understanding of how sound travels is necessary. Most people realize that that sound travels through air; we know this intuitively as we can hear people when they are talking and we can shout to them when they are far away. It is an easy concept to handle noise present in the air.  Air borne sound Generally, an acoustic solution should handle these problematic areas. Basically, it is an easy solution. Only two things can stop sound, and they are mass and space. Mass is necessary to stop the airborne sound but as solid objects also carry sound, to turn it into structure borne sound, you also have to introduce air space with aluminium wall panels . This brings in common noise isolation methods, where you have a layer of materials followed by an air gap and then another layer of the material.   Noise reduction or absorption One of the main are...
