HomeBlogHow Micro-Perforated Acoustic Panels Control Sound

The science of acoustics focuses on controlling sound waves within a specific space. When someone talks about a space having great acoustics, they mean that the sounds they want to hear are easy to make out while any distracting or unwanted sounds are muffled. Good acoustic design is a key consideration for concert venues, lecture halls, board rooms, and many other spaces where people need to hear clearly, and our team at IPS Perforating, Inc. can help you get the results you are looking for.

How Micro-Perforated Acoustic Panels Control Sound

We are proud to offer high-quality micro-perforated acoustic panels, and in this article, we’ll briefly explain how they work and why they’re so beneficial for public spaces. First, our micro-perforated acoustic panels contain countless tiny holes, which either go all the way through the material or are just slight depressions in the surface. These surface indentations and holes change the way the material interacts with sound waves.

Furthermore, micro-perforated acoustic panels help control sound by breaking sound waves into many smaller waves. When the initial wave hits the panel, instead of all the sound energy reflecting in the same direction and causing echoes, the wave is split into multiple waves that each head in different directions. Dispersing the sound waves in many different directions reduces echoes and enhances the audio quality of the space, making it easier to fully appreciate the music, lecture, or other activity occurring in the venue.
