For Immediate Release
Acoustical wall fabric saves $Green$ while being Green!
Sound Channels® acoustical wall fabric is manufactured from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled material, making this a quick ship, easy, no thought acoustic solution.
Sound Channels® is applied directly to vertical surfaces, is easy to cut and installs like wall carpet. This absorptive wall fabric is a great choice to moderate speech frequencies in any application. Great to soften sound in conference rooms, distance learning, offices, and day care facilities, this material can also be used as a base layer in home theaters, recording studios and broadcast facilities.
Not only is this economical acoustical treatment available in countless colors, it is manufactured from recycled materials, reducing environmental impact!
Sound Channels in manufactured using Eco-fi fibers. Eco-fi is a high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% certified recycled plastic bottles. It can go into any textile product such as clothing, blankets, carpets, wall coverings, auto interiors, home furnishings, and craft felt. Eco-fi can also be blended with other fibers, such as cotton or wool, for enhanced qualities.
AN EASY GUIDE: 15 bottles = 1 yard of wall covering
Why buy Eco‐fi products?
We have the capacity to keep billions of plastic bottles out of the world’s landfills each year by using post-consumer plastic bottles instead of virgin materials in the fiber manufacturing process. By doing this, we can lower harmful air emissions and save millions of barrels of oil from being used which, in turn, reduces the harmful effects of acid rain, global warming, and smog. Fabrics made from Eco-fi fiber are chemically and functionally nearly identical to those made from non-recycled fiber. The difference is that Eco-fi fiber is made without depleting the Earth’s natural resources. With properties such as strength, softness, shrinkage-resistance, and colorfastness, market applications for Eco-fi products are expanding every day.

Cutting Wedge Acoustical Foam Featured on 2012 Loudspeaker Sourcebook
Posted by Acoustics First in Anechoic Chambers, Broadcast Facilities, Industrial Facilities, Music Rehearsal Spaces, Music Tracking Room, Press Release, Products, Recording Facilities, Recording Studio, Studio Control Room, Vocal Booth, Voice Over on August 16, 2012
Acoustics First’s Cutting Wedge acoustical foam is featured on the cover of the 2012 Loudspeaker Industry Sourcebook. Acoustical foam can be used in any application that requires sound absorption. This material is used to prevent destructive specular reflections from distorting or color sound. It eliminates room modes and standing waves. Cutting Wedge foam provides more absorption than flat foam by increasing the exposed surface area with its “blade” pattern.
Available in 2″, 3″ and 4″ thick material, this premium acoustical foam can be used to line the cavities of speaker boxes, remove reflections in recording & broadcast studios, quiet machinery and much more. 1’x1′ or 2’x4′ sheets allow the application to be designed however you with to provide optimal coverage for your application.

Blocking Piano Sound from an Adjoining Classroom
QUESTION:
We have a piano class next to a classroom and the sound loves to leak through our thin walls. We need a type of sound proofing wall the teacher can still staple pictures and information to and block out all sound going through her wall bugging the other class. The wall is about 24′ x 12′. What can you suggest?
ANSWER:
Installing a layer of the BlockAid Sound Barrier on top of the existing shared wall will block the transmission of sound through the wall. Be sure to examine to overall construction of the room. If a suspended ceiling grid is in use, sound could possibly flank over the wall if it does not go all the way to the roof deck. Blocking sound requires that massive and dense structures be in place to interrupt the path of the sound or noise. Be sure to seal any seams or gaps as well as any wall switches or boxes. If air can pass through an area of the wall, so can sound.

Once the barrier is installed, a finish material will need to be installed over this. We would recommend 1/2″ wall board or something simple like the Sound Channels Acoustical Wall fabric. Sound Channels in installed in a similar manner to wall carpet and is Velcro compatible. It also is a Class A material that passes vertical and corner burn tests.
We can also custom manufacture 2″ thick Sonora Acoustical Wall Panels with a barrier septum in the middle and a Tackable Face. This will combine sound absorption along with the sound barrier and add a fabric finish, all in one step. We would recommend doing this in two sections of 4′(w) x 6′(h) panels.
As always, be sure to discuss your project with an acoustical consultant or experienced professional to determine which materials best suit your application, site constraints and budget.

When Soundproofing, Don’t forget to seal any seams and gaps

BlockAid Mass Loaded Barrier (MLV)
Whether you are building music studios, conference rooms, offices or any space that requires sound privacy, using multiple layers of sheet rock, mass loaded vinyl barrier and resilient clips with hat track is a great start to soundproofing. However, no matter how many layers comprise the wall composition, any air gap or a seam will allow sound to spill into or out of the room. This would render all your hard work and labor null and void as well as waste your construction budget. It only takes a very small space to allow a large sound leak. Wall board and vinyl sound barrier are simple to seal correctly using an acoustical sound caulk. Be sure to apply sound sealant to all vertical and horizontal seams as well as the joints at the floor, ceiling and both inside and outside corners. Wall switches and electric outlets also pose a threat to sound leakage. They are just as important as the overall wall construction. Be sure to seal any of these weak spots with a solid enclosure or use a caulked vinyl sound barrier flap to create a soundproof seal behind these openings.
When Soundproofing a room, don’t forget to seal all your seams and gaps. If air can pass through, so can sound! http://www.acousticsfirst.com/sound-proofing-barrier-osi-acoustical-sound-sealant.htm
