If you live near a busy street, this new breakthrough from Switzerland could offer some long-awaited relief. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) ...

Noise abatement is growing in importance, thus, the demand for better acoustic building components raises. Scientists are developing new solutions: aesthetically good looking and flexibly applicable ...

For applications where mounting acoustical wall treatments are impossible or undesirable, ProMAX Panels are lightweight, stand-mounted, portable StudioFoam sound absorbers. They are used in such ...

Many asymmetric absorbers are currently based on a single-port system, where sound enters one side and is absorbed before a rigid wall. In this design, however, light and air are unable to pass ...

I don't profess to be an acoustical engineer or some sort of sound guru. I'm a normal guy, married with a kid, who has recently purchased my first house. I've been an audio nut for years with very ...

Experts at the University of Bristol have discovered that the scales on moth wings act as excellent sound absorbers even when placed on an artificial surface. The researchers, which recently ...

These nifty little ISO_PUCK mini shock absorbers isolate speaker cabinets from the surface they would normally sit on. The result is a more focused soundstage. I’ve always been a bit of a skeptic when ...

Continued from Part I … So the big question - How do they work? In my opinion - great. The difference in my room is dramatic. I don't have any fancy measuring devices (only my SPL from radio shack) so ...
