ABS - Acoustic Barrier Systems
How to eliminate echo and reverberation inside a studio
Even a well-insulated soundproof room can suffer from unwanted echo and reverberation. Sound waves bounce off hard walls and ceilings, creating reflections that can affect dialogue recording, filming, sound recording and overall production quality.
This is where our ABS – Acoustic Barrier System provides an effective solution. ABS is a Class A sound absorption material installed and trusted by film and television studios throughout the UK and internationally. It is designed to absorb reflected sound energy, helping to control unwanted echo and reverberation within production spaces. Unlike conventional permanent acoustic finishes, ABS can be installed as fixed wall coverings or as flexible acoustic drapes, allowing studios to adapt their acoustic treatment to suit different productions and requirements.
As recommended installers for a variety of acoustic treatments for both permanent and temporary structures we can suggest an educated solution to noise pollution, echo or reverb. We have worked on a large number of buildings, with varying problems from outside noise pollution or not enough sound absorption that can create an echo within large buildings especially those with hard or reflective surfaces. The retro-fit portable and reusable ABS quilted system is made of fire retardant material which is non-combustable and will not melt or drip during a fire, this material was designed specifically to solve the problem of unwanted noise as a class A sound absorption product that offers unparalleled levels of protection that cannot be claimed by suppliers of similar alternative acoustic treatments.
Our specialist acoustic and thermal composite barrier system was initially designed for temporary structures so it can be portable, temporary or used as a permanent install. This brand new technology makes a massive difference in the control of noise pollution from outside sources or when keeping noise within. These systems improve sound quality and acoustics within a permanent or temporary structure, it’s completely scaleable in terms of design and can be used as both insulation and, or sound absorption and can be retro-fitted, removed and reused elsewhere or for each production as you see fit.
At just 1.7kg per metre square, increases the overall composite value to an average SRI of 17dB an overall improvement of 13dB against previous solutions creating a significant acoustic insulation and sound reduction in all frequency ranges. This easy fitting/removal system enables multiple reuse, with double layer option to further improve values suitable for acoustic and thermal protection for gable, roof and wall surfaces in temporary structures.
