What is Sound Absorption?

Sound absorption is the process of removing sound energy from an environment, while diffusers reflect sound waves in different directions. Depending on the class of absorption, a highly absorbent material will only reflect a small proportion of the sound energy;

whilst absorbing the majority by turning the sound energy into heat energy when the waves hit the absorbent material. (To achieve a Class A sound absorption, the product is required to absorb over 90% of the energy) Sound Diffusion and Sound Absorption products can be used together to achieve optimal acoustic values, as the efficacy of both systems are enhanced when combined.
