StratiQuilt™ Before and After – Graveyard Carz!
Posted by Acoustics First in Absorption, Construction Sites, Customer Feedback, DIY, Industrial Facilities, Product Applications, Products, Sound proofing, Uncategorized, Video on January 18, 2017
For our first post of 2017, we thought we’d share this video produced by our friends at Graveyard Carz! When the reality show had noise issues with their compressors while filming, they solved the problem by using Stratiquilt™ Acoustic Blankets from Acoustics First®. This video shows a before and after comparison and is a great example of the practical application of these industrial sound control blankets.
Enjoy!

Acoustics First® makes sound Visible!
Posted by Acoustics First in Diffusion, Product Applications, Products, Uncategorized, Video on November 18, 2016
As many of you know, Acoustics First® invests a great deal of energy in the development of the science of acoustics. Here are three ways that we are making advances that help people learn and actually Visualize acoustics!
Those interested in sound diffusers have certainly noticed that Acoustics First® has produced a Diffuser Data book, containing all kinds of test data about how our diffusers contribute to the sound in your space. This information is a great advancement and we have worked closely with the ASTM committee developing this test method. Some people wonder exactly how the test produces the data that we report, and we have developed a simulation to show exactly how the sound energy is sampled during this test.
If you download the Diffuser Data booklet, you can see a picture of the gigantic test arc at NWAA Labs which is used for the real world tests.

We have also made leaps and bounds in using simulations to show the different ways that diffusion develops in a space. Depending on the type and placement of the diffusers you install, the diffuse field will develop at different speeds, at different frequencies. We can now show a couple of simulations of the development of a diffuse field to help you visualize how sound moves in room without treatment and with two different sets of diffuser treatments.

Bonus video! Imagine being able to see the Untreated room and the Model D room from a different angle – To be able to move around the outside of the room and see how the sound field develops from a different perspective. Imagine no more! Here it is!

We hope these helped you to “look” at acoustics in a whole new way, and stay tuned – more advancements are coming soon!

AFC at the AIA 2016!
Posted by Acoustics First in Uncategorized on May 10, 2016
Acoustics First® will be exhibiting at the AIA Convention next week, May 19th-21st, in Philadelphia. If you’re in town, be sure to stop by the AFC booth and meet acousticians Jim DeGrandis and Cameron Girard. They’ll be featuring our industry leading Art Diffusor® series along with other product offerings.
Acoustics First @ AIA Philadelphia 2016 – Booth 3749 – Keep an eye out for our Banner!
Since the 1980’s, the principals of Acoustics First® have been designing, manufacturing and distributing a wide variety of acoustical materials, ranging from industrial blankets to premium acoustical ceiling tiles. This year we’re particularly excited to share our latest developments in the world of sound diffusion. This includes the creation of a method to evaluate sound diffusers using particle computer simulations, utilizing 3D printing technology to streamline the development of new diffuser prototypes, and a new comprehensive set of data which allows the performance of our sound diffusers to be compared.
Swing by and check out all these innovations first hand, or just hang out and shoot the breeze with our acousticians. We look forward to seeing you at AIA Philadelphia!
ArtDiffusor® – MicroModel D – Big Sound, Small Package
Posted by Acoustics First in Articles, Press Release, Uncategorized on April 1, 2016
With current trends leaning toward improving the quality of life for all creatures living on our great planet, we at Acoustics First® feel that we can contribute to this in our own small way.
So we proudly introduce, the ArtDiffusor® – Micro Model D!
Beaker says, “It really helps to control unwanted specular reflections and flutter echos!”
Birds are very musical creatures, in the past, while Beaker was listening to the Bee Gees, he was bombarded with harsh specular reflections and flutter echos, it was a tragedy – but no longer.
Beaker tweets, “After installing my Micro Model D, Barry’s falsetto is so much clearer – It’s Amazing!”
Harsh acoustic environments are not for the birds… The ArtDiffusor®- Micro Model D… is.
Model D Patent Granted
Posted by Acoustics First in Uncategorized on November 24, 2015
Acoustics First® is pleased to announce that the Patent for our new Art Diffusor® Model D is now official!

We thought we’d also share this recent piece from Robotics Tomorrow. Written by AFC’s Cameron Girard, this article shares some insights into the process of product development and prototyping.
