Acoustical Solutions debuts new Whisperwave Ribbon Baffles

January 02, 2013 - United States Of America

Acoustical baffles are vertically suspended sound absorption products that are often used to acoustically treat gymnasiums, halls, lobbies, manufacturing facilities, and other large spaces with high ceilings. By hanging from above, baffles reside in a space where sound tends to get “stuck”.

This is because sound waves reflect off of hard surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors) and continue to echo or reverberate often for long periods of time. Baffles provide greater sound absorption in these applications than acoustical wall panels due to greater exposed surface area and range of placement, significantly reducing reverberation of sound and improving speech intelligibility.

Whisperwave Ribbon Baffles are a curved accent acoustical baffle that is unique because it allows you to add movement and creative design while reducing noise and reverberation. The Ribbons are a new addition to the Whisperwave line, which all add dimension and acoustical control right where it is needed most – open, reverberant spaces.

“We introduced the Whisperwave line here at Acoustical Solutions over a year ago,” says Gary Hudson, ASI national sales manager, “they have quickly become some of our most popular products because they look amazing – and like no other acoustical product – but most importantly they are a high performing noise control solution. The new Ribbon Baffles provide another aesthetic option, broadening the design potential of the line".

Made from Class 1 fire-rated willtec foam, Whisperwave products are offered in standard and custom sizes and curve patterns. Whisperwave products are lightweight and easy to install. The line also includes standard baffles and acoustical clouds.

Whisperwave products are available in natural white and light grey or can be HPC-coated (black, grey, white, almond or charcoal). Whisperwave Ribbon Baffles also offer competitive NRC ratings averaging 0.95 across the audible frequency range.
