'Ambience' Flow Resistive Absorptive Panels

Introduction

NAP's new 'Ambience' Flow Resistive Absorptive Panels are the high technology alternative to the treatment of highly reverberant rooms and chambers, where noise reduction and an improved intelligibility of speech and sound is required. Their unique performance characteristics allow tuning to achieve the desired performance for any particular application.


Applications

'Ambience' Panels are an effective and economical solution to reverberant noise problems. The unique NAP design provides high sound absorption in an efficient and compact package. Due to the robust design and protection of the flow resistive membrane, the units are suitable for high traffic areas without concern for damage of the acoustic material.

The unique system of using a high flow resistive lining eliminates the Occupational Health and Safety problems associated with the site cutting of fibrous insulation. In addition, as the flow resistive lining is factory bonded to the panel, a neater finish and appearance is obtained, especially as the problem of fibrous insulation protruding through the material is eliminated. This system also allows reduced installation time.


Typical applications include :
  • Council Chambers
  • Theatres
  • Churches
  • Boardrooms
  • Court Rooms
  • Hallways
  • Hotel Foyers
  • Reception Areas
  • Gymnasiums
  • Recording Studios
  • Video Conferencing Rooms
  • Schools


Installation

NAP 'Ambience' Panels can be installed either by permanently fixing to walls or by hanging in a similar manner to pictures, depending on specific requirements. Panels can also be fitted into standard suspended ceiling grids.


Features
  • Excellent absorption characteristics providing significant reduction in overall noise levels
  • Easily installed in new or existing buildings
  • Can be arranged in a variety of patterns to suit the architectural requirements
  • Available in various painted colours or with timber veneer face
  • Available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit individual requirements
  • Additional absorbers can be installed at any time, catering for changes in building use
  • Low weight
  • Panels can be backlit to create special visual effects

Acoustic Performance

The NAP 'Ambience' Flow Resistive Absorptive Panels provide excellent acoustic performance characteristics. Typical performance figures are shown below.

The performance data has been obtained from laboratory tests carried out at RMIT, Melbourne and tested in accordance with AS 1045-1988, 'Acoustics - Measurements of Sound Absorption in a Reverberation Room'.


NAP 'Ambience' Panels are extremely effective in reducing overall noise levels in reverberant spaces. The maximum performance is achieved in areas of acoustically hard surfaces where high levels of reverberation noise exist.

The absorption figures given above demonstrate the effect of alternative configurations of panels within a given area. For details on the full range of options please contact NAP Acoustics or your local representative.
