The tests were carried out in the large reverberation room at the University of Salford (Manchester England). The room has been designed with hard surfaces and non-parallel walls to give long empty room reverberation times with uniform decays. It has the shape of a truncated wedge. In addition, 11 panels, each 1.22m x 2.44m, were hung in the room to improve the diffusivity of the sound field. The test sample was placed in the centre of the floor. The excitation signal comprised wide band random noise played into the room via a loudspeaker system mounted in a cabinet facing a corner. The sound was monitored at each of 5 microphone positions. The room is 7.4m long x ~6.6m wide x 4.5m high.

ADD BUILT-IN SCATTERING TO YOUR PANELS

Broadband treatments offer great performance with an attractive price and when coupled with diffusion and scattering, can give your room a completely balanced sound throughout, without over-dampening high frequencies.

The GIK Acoustics built-in Scatter Plate option allows even decay time from low to high frequencies while providing the necessary space for absorption to flatten the frequency response. Read more about the new GIK Acoustics Scatter Plate here.

After adding the product to your cart, you can then select Scatter Plate from the Diffusion Products menu and have them built into your Acoustic Panel or Bass Trap for only £37.50 Exc VAT/£45.00 Inc VAT per panel.

CLOUD MOUNTING BRACKETS

It’s recommended to place acoustic panels on the ceiling to reduce floor-to-ceiling slap echo, control height modes and eliminate early reflections.  But mounting 242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps or Monster Bass Traps overhead can be tricky.  We’ve taken the difficulty out of the equation with our Cloud Mounting Brackets.  Not only are they easy to use, but at £12.50 per set they’re easy on your budget. It’s the perfect solution for acoustic panel or bass trap ceiling mounting.  Click here to add Cloud Mounting Brackets to your order.

BOOM STAND BRACKETS

Instead of mounting the panel on the wall, we offer our Boom Stand Brackets. Installing these brackets on the panel allows it to attach to any boom stand turning your 244 Bass Trap with FlexRange Technology into a gobo or a portable vocal booth. For only £6.25 Exc VAT/£7.50 Inc VAT you can add increased flexibility to our acoustic panels. (Boom stand not included.)

WOODEN OR CUSTOM METAL STANDS

Another alternative that adds flexibility to GIK Acoustics panels are our Wooden Stands or Custom Metal Stands. Our metal stands are modern, contemporary and powder coated for greater durability. Complete your GIK Acoustics order with either free-standing option for £35.00 Exc VAT/£42.00 Inc VAT. Looks great and provides flexibility!
