Sonex Studio foam at Soundproofing America

by: Robert W. Orther

There is a lot more to a modern home or professional studio then simply soundproofing the walls and floating the floor. Oh of course these things are important especially when you are trying to capture that perfect classical guitar solo on tape or CD, but it is the acoustical tuning of the studio that really makes the difference between a good recording and an outstanding one. What do I mean by acoustical tuning? Basically it is deadening or livening a room to make it the perfect environment for live musical recording and voice-overs. If a room or a studio is too live this meant that there are too many hard surfaces fro the sound to reflect off of. It is what causes unwanted reverbs (echo) in the room dues to the lack of absorbent material on the walls ceiling and floors.

Illbruck Sonex ™ is one of the leading producers in the world of quality studio and home theater absorptive foams and acoustical panels. For example the Sonex ™

Fabritec™ panels give your studio that professional look while adding to the acoustical balance in the room. The Fabritec™ fabric covered panels are lightweight and have a Willtec™ foam core and a rugged tackable fabric exterior. Willtec™ is and open-cell melamine foam that is the cornerstone of the Fabretec™ panels. They are am impact resistant panel and can take the abuse of dollies and heavy musical equipment that might be inadvertently slammed into these panels. They attach to any clean surface with adhesives or hook and loop- fasteners. The Sonex Fabritec™ panels come in 24” X 24” and also 24” X 48”. They are the perfect panels to give you studio that polished look while providing the quality sound that the pros demand. Illbruck Sonex™ leads the way for high quality studio panels.

The Whiteline ™ tiles offer excellent sound absorption as well as having a high light reflectance (.089) making them ideal for spaces with indirect lighting. Whiteline™ ceiling tiles also have a Willtec™ melamine foam core the same as the Sonex Fabritech™ panels.

The Willtec™ core makes these tiles lightweight and very absorbent. White fleece is laminated to both sides of the Whiteline™ ceiling tiles. These ceiling tiles can be installed into an Illbruck Sonex ™ ceiling grid or into any conventional 15/16” or 9/16” T-grid system.
