An acoustic control system for hospitality spaces includes a passive component () for producing a baseline reverberation time (RT) value within the space, and an active component (L, M) for picking up sounds in the space () and reintroducing the sounds into the space such that the reintroduced sounds have an RT value and sound level capable of being adjusted and such that the resulting RT value can be adjusted to a relatively large value as compared to said baseline RT value.

Dynamic acoustic control system and method for hospitality spaces

An acoustically absorptive panel comprises a forward airspace bounded by an acoustically transparent front fabric stretch-mounted on a support frame, and the front face of a porous acoustical absorber, the forward air space, the front fabric and the porous absorber collectively acting as acoustical absorbing chamber, wherein oppositely disposed end panels of the front fabric extend around opposing side frame members of one or more frame structures of the support frame and are connected to a pair of spaced apart retaining struts disposed between the side frame members, the distance between the retaining struts adjustable by rotating one or more threaded tension adjusters thereby stretching or relaxing the front fabric across the support frame to adjust the frequency at which sound absorption will be maximized.

Acoustically absorptive panel

An acoustically absorptive panel comprises a porous acoustical absorber having a planar configuration mounted on a support frame, an acoustically transparent front fabric stretch-mounted on the support frame and spaced from and in parallel alignment with the front face of the porous acoustical absorber and forming an airspace, the porous absorber, front fabric and forward air space acting as acoustical absorbing chamber capable of absorbing a greater range of sound frequencies than the porous acoustical absorber alone, the range of frequencies absorbed depending on the depth of the air space.
