Panel Construction

Audimute Acoustic Panels are the perfect solution for reverberant noise. Adding acoustical panels to the room will reduce reflected sound thereby dampening the echo and reverberation, creating an appropriate acoustic environment. Audimute acoustic sound panels offer excellent acoustic absorption properties. Panels are edge framed from lightweight metal and hand assembled from start to finish. Effective use of eco-C-tex sound absorbing technology will substantially reduce volume levels and improve the acoustics of any space.

eco-C-tex Absorption Material:

• The GREENEST acoustic material in today's marketplace
• Composed of a blend of recycled cotton and cellulose fibers (the majority of which is post-consumer recycled newspaper!)
• A better alternative to traditional fiberglass & synthetic acoustic panels
• By converting recycled paper into cellulose fibers used in eco-C-tex, the paper is kept out of landfills where it has the potential to pollute the environment. Because eco-C-tex material is completely recyclable, no scrap is produced during production of the product. The eco-C-tex manufacturing process uses 1/10 of the energy than fiberglass insulation, and 1/40 of the energy than foam insulation.
• U.L. Class A Rating per ASTM E84 flame and smoke standards
• Completely Safe and Non-Toxic
• NRC Rating = 1.00
  

  

Fabric:

• Standard — Class A fire-rated (ASTM E-84) Guilford of Maine Anchorage fabrics in 11 color options (contains 80% pre-consumer and 20% post-consumer recycled polyester).
• Custom — Class A fire-rated (ASTM E-84) fabrics (majority contain 100% recycled polyester). 1000+ options available.
• Image — Durable fire-rated (NFPA 701) polyester

Digital Printed Fabric:

• Highest quality digital fabric print
• Easy to handle, install and clean
• NFPA Fire Rated

Acoustical Performace:

125 Hz	250 Hz	500 Hz	1K Hz	2K Hz	4K Hz	NRC
.22	.66	1.12	1.10	1.07	1.11	1.00

The NRC rating is an average of how absorptive a material is at six of the most common frequencies (125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz). This industry standard ranges from zero (perfectly reflective) to 1* (perfectly absorptive). It is always expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest 5%.

Dimensions and Weight:

Standard Sizes	Thickness	Weight
1'x2'	2"	3 lbs.
2' x 2'	2"	5.5 lbs.
2' x 3'	2"	8 lbs.
2' x 4'	2"	9 lbs.
Triangle - 24" x 24" x 32"	2"	3 lbs.
Bass Trap - 2' x 2'	4"	8.5 lbs.

*Custom shapes and sizes can be made to specific customer requirements. Maximum size available up to 64" x 72". Shapes and sizes can be mixed and matched to create the desired décor.

Digital Printing Information:

The facing of the panel is 100% polyester. Choose from our stock images or supply your own logo, photo or image (high resolution approximately 300DPI required). The quality of the print will depend on the quality of the image supplied. The image is wrapped around the panel and fixed to the back to create a nice finish. Please provide your files in the form of CD-ROM (jpeg, tiff or psd file) along with a hard print of the design or section of the design.

Reproduction Suitability:

Not all images are appropriate for large format digital printing. Please consider the following when choosing photographs: Photographs should be sized proportionately to the finished dimensions of the panel. If your dimensions are wider than they are tall, then your photograph should have the same proportion. Images should be cropped if needed. Photographs should be in focus. Our graphics department will review all artwork submitted for reproduction to determine if it is appropriate in quality, clarity and size for the project.

Legal Considerations:

You must have legal rights for use on any images submitted for reproduction. All custom sales are final.

Installation and Care:

The surface of the panel can be dusted or lightly vacuumed like drapery to remove surface dust. You may also use a lint brush or roller for light dusting. (Mounting hardware is available at an additional charge)

Delivery Times:

Standard Panel orders typically ship within one week from date of order depending on order size.  Custom panels (including custom image, fabric and size) ship within 3 - 4 weeks.
