What can you say about the tremendous benefits of acoustical panels for churches that hasn’t already been said?
Here are a few pictures from another fantastic installation.
These Sonora® Wall Panels were specified by Cameron Girard in our technical sales department.

Sound Diffusion: The Movement toward Omnipresence
Posted by Acoustics First in Uncategorized on August 17, 2017
Here’s a great article from the August 2017 Edition of audioXpress, from our own Jim DeGrandis , on acoustic diffusers and diffusion. The article gives an overview of the ‘state-of-the-industry’ as it relates to diffuser design, measurement, and practical application. Jim is a member of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) and ASTM International.
Here is what we know, and where it’s headed.
Introducing the Aeolian™ Diffuser

Acoustics First® is pleased to announce our latest creation: The Aeolian™ Sound Diffuser. In some ways a simplified version of our popular Art Diffusor® Model D, the Aeolian™ is the latest in our line of ‘Organic Quadratics’. Part of the Aeolian’s™ unique design comes from its use of “implied symmetry”. Although the edges are all asymmetric, the height variations are just subtle enough to create an illusion of symmetry when installed in a standard 15/16” grid, or spaced appropriately on a wall. The lack of a uniform edge also has added acoustical benefits in the way of “randomness”.
3D Development Model
Simulations are compared to final test results before production. (Test result by NWAA Labs.)
The development process for the Aeolian™ was similar to that of our ‘Model D’. Various 3D models were created and refined, after which we ran acoustical simulations. Once we settled on what we considered the optimum design for what we were going for, a full scale 3D model was printed for lab testing. With the ‘real world’ test results in hand, confirming our predicted results, we set about making the final mold, and this new diffuser was born.
