Good acoustic design is critical in interior spaces to ensure good sound quality, speech intelligibility, concentration, comfort, and confidentiality. When a sound wave hits Obersound acoustic wood panels, several reactions occur: part of the wave enters the panels through perforations and is trapped, part of the wave is diffused by the varied surface pattern and scattered back into the space, and part of the wave passes fully through to be absorbed by rockwool insulation behind. Obersound perforated acoustic wood panels absorb up to 95% of the sound that hits them (αw coefficient .95). Wood has been used in acoustic applications for centuries, and generously lends itself to interior acoustic design with its warmth - visual, auditory, and tactile all at once.
