Abstract
A vacuum platen for media sheets has a sheet support wall formed with a plurality of perforations and a number of chambers formed on a bottom side of the sheet support wall. Each of the chambers is directly connected to a vacuum source. Each chamber contains an acoustic barrier member arranged to divide the chamber into at least two sub-chambers such that the sub-chambers are in fluid communication with one another and have overlapping contours when seen in a direction normal to the plane of the sheet support wall.
