Acoustics
Room acoustics, often overlooked in the audio chain, plays a pivotal role in our perception of sound. Regardless of the quality of your audio equipment, without proper room treatment, you may never fully experience your system's potential.

Silentmax Acoustic Tiles - Lineair Groove
Silentmax® acoustic panels absorb unwanted acoustic energy. They reduce reverberation and improve the overall acoustic parameters of the space. The panels are maintenance-free and easy to install. They are ecologically produced by 100% recycling of PET bottles, are harmless to health, do not retain odors and are non-flammable.
Just as rocks in a river slow down the flow of water, Silentmax® acoustic panels slow down acoustic energy. Did you know that 1 m3 of air weighs approximately 1 kg? Acoustic energy spreads in space as waves. Silentmax® acoustic panels absorb and absorb this energy very effectively. The internal density of Silentmax® panels is optimized so that their acoustic absorption is as high as possible with their own thickness of 12 mm. The panels are partially breathable, so they effectively absorb acoustic energy in a very wide spectrum of audible frequencies.

Silentmax -Acoustic Panel
Get rid of the echo! Acoustic well-being increases the comfort of the environment. It is proven that high-quality acoustics significantly improve the intelligibility and perception of speech, improve concentration. Echo reduction also contributes to a more perfect perception of music. The contours of the tools stand out and their separation becomes clearer.
Often even simple solutions are of great benefit in environments with poor acoustics. Offices, classrooms, restaurants, meeting rooms often suffer from unpleasant reverberation and echo. The auditory perception of speech is then unintelligible and long-term listening is tiring. We have a simple solution.
Hanging or gluing the Silentmax® acoustic panel is very easy, and the panel can also be easily adapted to your layout.

Silentmax - 3D Line
Modern design, very high absorption of acoustic energy, airiness, durability, ecology. A modern solution for reducing echo and noise in the interior. Silentmax3D Line acoustic panels can be mounted on the wall and ceiling. Installation is very simple. The acoustic segments slide into the patented Silentmax easy-fixd profile in one piece. The grooves in the profile centre the individual acoustic segments.
The Silentmax3D Line acoustic segment base array measuring 244x200x10 cm contains 7.8m2 of Silentmax® acoustic absorption material.
The speed of sound is 345 m/s, and a distinct echo has a reverberation time greater than 1 second. This means that it bounces 100 times in one second between walls at a distance of 3.45 m, about 50 times in one second at a distance of 7 m, and almost 140 times between the ceiling and the floor at 2.5 m.
It's like throwing a stone into water, and it ripples across the surface. Sound propagation in the air works the same way, only in all directions. Simply put, from the source of the sound, the waves propagate in all directions. When a sound wave hits a hard surface (wall, tile, concrete, glass, wood), the energy is reflected. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. When an acoustic wave strikes a soft material, its acoustic energy is absorbed.

Unbalanced acoustics are not solely an issue in commercial or utility spaces. Acoustics, despite their significant impact on psychological well-being, are often overlooked in modern apartments, ironically in favor of practicality. Extended reverberation times impair the clarity and intelligibility not only of speech but also, of course, music. They also hinder the ability to locate sounds spatially. Modern living spaces frequently lack acoustically absorbing materials, particularly in minimalist interiors without carpets.
Reverberation time is the primary acoustic parameter for enclosed spaces, relatively easy to measure and should typically fall within the range of 0.2 to 0.5 seconds. An overly dampened room can feel oppressive, while a room with no damping exhibits noticeable echoes, such as the unpleasant reverberation of a clinking spoon. In simple terms, the issue stems from the accumulation of acoustic energy due to reflections from solid surfaces, including the ceiling, floor, windows, and especially the walls. Reverberation time can be controlled using various soft, acoustically absorbent materials. These materials include specifically designed acoustic panels and diffusers, as well as items like thick curtains, carpets, and upholstered furniture.

Hybrid Acoustic Diffuser
Audio and Acoustics
Your hearing does not perceive sound only in a direct line in the axis of the speaker, what we hear is also a lot of reflections from the walls of the listening space. Room acoustics has a fundamental influence on the perception of music. That is why quality audio and acoustics are inseparable and a diffuser plays a very important role in the relationship. Even relatively good acoustic conditions deserve to be improved by acoustic treatment. Sound reflections from large flat surfaces like walls worsen sound clarity and intelligibility. The diffuser evenly disperses unwanted sound reflections. Thanks to this, elocution becomes clearer, the recording gain more spatiality and clarity. Details previously hidden come forward.
Improve Acoustics in Modern Interiors
Modern living frequently omits dealing with acoustics, unfortunately so, as acoustics have a fundamental effect on our psychological well-being. Long duration of reverberation interferes with clarity and intelligibility of speech and worsens spatial localisation of our hearing. Living spaces usually lack in acoustically absorptive materials. With modern minimalist interiors without carpets, their absence is virtually woeful.
The duration of reverberation is the main acoustic parameter of closed space. It is quite easily measurable and it should fall within the range of 0.2 to 0.5 seconds. A space that is overly damped feels oppressive. Conversely, in a space with no damping at all, one can hear considerable echo, for example the unpleasant reverberation sound of a teaspoon clink. Reverberation time can be regulated by changing the amount of acoustically absorptive materials, such as thick curtains, carpets, fabric upholstered sofas, etc.
Hybrid Diffuser in a Room
Compared to other acoustic solutions, a hybrid diffuser diffuses sound waves in one plane and absorbs them in the other. The patterns are optimised in such a way that enough acoustic energy is always kept in the room. Also, the ratio of absorption to diffusion can be to some extent controlled using variations of the basic pattern. On top of that, the diffuser is adapted to natural properties of a room: it suppresses unwanted standing waves thanks to differences in the density of the pattern. A well chosen hybrid diffuser can therefore substitute for a combination of different acoustic solutions that one would otherwise have to combine.
Custom Diffusers for Demanding Audiophiles
The size and volume of the listening space is directly related to the optimal size of the diffuser. In larger spaces, an appropriately sized diffuser will contribute significantly to the improvement of acoustic conditions. Contact us and we will produce a custom-sized diffuser especially for your room! The diffuser can also be stained in any shade desired as long as it is darker than the default natural treatment shade. In lighter versions (for example white), the oak wood segments layer is replaced by a quality plastic layer (the frame stays oak wood).
Intended for demanding hifi listeners, it improves the overall acoustics of the listening space.

Using this acoustic diffuser has a similar diffusing effect on the sound as sandblasted milk glass does when placed in front of a light cone. Milk glass evenly disperses, or diffuses the light beams. The exact same effect of evenly and regularly dispersing sound is achievable with an acoustic diffuser.
Acoustic Diffuser – Theory, History
The formula for the calculation of the diffuser shape is based on quadratic differences of sequences from the elementary number theory, as described by mathematicians A. M. Legrand (1752–1833) and C. F. Gauss (1777–1857). The 2D-QRD quadratic diffuser has excellent efficiency, its behaviour can be calculated and it works in both horizontal and vertical planes.
The main advantage rests in filling the listening space with sound without unwanted linear reflections from flat surfaces. The diffuser should ideally be placed between the speakers in such a way that its centre point matches the centre point of the wall height.
Upon customer’s request, an inverse diffuser can be made. The inverse one is placed behind the listening spot so that the two are directly opposite each other. The effect of diffusing unwanted reflections then multiplies.
