An important part of optimising your cinema design is to consider how the wall elements can be built up and combined.
Combining wall elements for a perfect result
In order to achieve a balanced absorption, a mix of wall elements is needed. The wall elements are built up from combinations of different absorber materials and sometimes also combined with a slotted MDF board.
Different types of wall construction (principles)
System 1: Typical high-frequency absorber
Modus Black 970 50 mm
Glass wool, 27 kg/m3, 70 mm
System 2: Broad band absorber
Ecophon Akusto™ Wall Texona, 40 mm
Glass wool, 20 kg/m3, 70 mm
System 3: Mid-frequency range absorber
Ecophon Akusto™ Wall Texona, 40 mm
Glass wool, 20 kg/m3, 70 mm
System 4: Broad band absorber
Ecophon Akusto™ Wall Texona, 40 mm
MDF board, 30 mm, air gap 6 mm
Glass wool, 20 kg/m3, 95 mm
System 5: Low-frequency resonance absorber
MDF board, 30 mm, air gap 6 mm
Glass wool, 20 kg/m3, 70 mm
For system 1
A = Statistical absorbation coefficient
B = Frequency, Hz
1 = System 1
For system 2 and 4
A = Statistical absorbation coefficient
B = Frequency, Hz
2 = System 2
4 = System 4
For system 3 and 5
A = Statistical absorbation coefficient
B = Frequency, Hz
3 = System 3
5 = System 5
Tailored cinema solutions for different budget scopes
Sometimes budget limitations set the conditions for the level of acoustic performance. Cinema solutions from Ecophon can of course be tailored to meet different budget scopes. Even if a more basic solution doesn’t reach the same acoustic levels as an optimised solution, it should be designed to deliver as good acoustics as possible.
Here we show one example of a optimised construction and one example of an basic construction. These are type examples and used to explain the principles of different levels. Every real design solution needs be tailor-made to suit the actual project.
