Sound absorbers are used to improve the acoustics of work areas and minimize noise nuisance by reducing the reverberation time.
Sound absorbers are most often used for sound absorption in machine enclosures, engine compartrments, sound locks and ventilation ducts.
The profiled types are often chosen for recording studios, singing practice rooms, music rooms and rehearsal rooms because of their more aesthetical appearance, compared with the flat absorbents. The sound absorbent must be turned to face the sound source.
