Abstract: A system utilizing a series of sound absorbant baffles which are spaced along intersecting wall and ceiling surfaces of a room or alternatively entirely on a wall surface to absorb sound waves moving in an oblique manner to the surfaces. The baffles are of a low density material with faces projecting from the wall and ceiling surfaces. Sealant applied to baffle edges ensures gap free securement to wall and ceiling surfaces. The baffles do not significantly interfere with sound moving perpendicular to the wall and ceiling surfaces to preserve desired acoustical characteristics of a room. Mounting brckets including clips may be provided for attaching the baffles to room surfaces in a removable manner.

Abstract: A tubular sound absorbent device includes the cylindrical wall closed by top and bottom end walls to define an internal chamber. Located within the chamber are various sound wave attenuating devices including those of tubular configuration as well as those of frust-conical shape. The sound wave attenuating components may also include perforated tubes entirely confined within the sound absorbent unit or with a tube extending outwardly for termination in a companion structure.

Abstract: A sound absorptive structure for installation on room wall structure to reduce low frequency wave energy and enhance room acoustics. A fibrous, sound absorptive member is of curved section and terminates in tapered side edges for inserted engagement with wall mounted strips. The structure may be segmented with partitions between the segments. Alternatively T-shaped divider strips may interconnect adjacent segments. A further modification utilizes a flat base for wall attachment with end portions of the base folded perpendicularly to the base to provide closures for the ends of a sound member. Intersections between segments of a sound absorptive structure may be accomplished by corner mounted box structures or may be mitered for endwise abutment with one another. Openings in the room wall structure increase the volume of the present wall mounted structure.

Abstract: An acoustical device for damping and absorption of certain frequencies in a room and including a surface which functions as a low pass filter to maintain low frequency absorptive properties without reducing the acoustical brightness of the room. The device may be embodied as a piece of free standing room furniture. A capped tube of the device defines an internal ambient air chamber. Exteriorly of the tube is a perforate sound reflective member. The perforation size and spacing function as a mechanical low pass cross-over system. A cross-over option is presented to include an imperforate limp mass sheet covering at least partially the absorbent tube surface.
