Return of the Sonora® Sound Shim™!
Posted by Acoustics First in Uncategorized on May 22, 2018
This month, Acoustics First® is pleased to announce the return of the Sonora® Sound Shim™!
The new version of this product features a simplified construction, a higher NRC and increased low-end absorption. These tapered ‘wedge’ panels are a great alternative for those looking to add some architectural panache, while simultaneously helping to control those troublesome ‘bass’ frequencies. Sound Shims™ are a particularly good option for spaces such as auditoriums and theaters. Available in sizes up to 4’ x 8’.
Binaural Bob Returns!
Posted by Acoustics First in Absorption, Diffusion, Offices, Product Applications, Products, Uncategorized, Video on April 5, 2018
Back in the summer of 2015 we had a good time stuffing a bunch of our Model D Art Diffusors® into an empty storage closet and making a bunch of racket. The results were recorded, with the help of our friend Binaural Bob and the resulting data provided some interesting insights.
Well, Binaural Bob is back! This time we had a larger room than before (10’x9’x8’), and experimented with wider variety of sounds and treatment options. While this is obviously not the same as a controlled laboratory test, it does have a certain ‘real world’ flavor that’s relatable.
For best results, turn off any compression/effects and listen on headphones.
