Product Description
Audiodesigner Plettro Sound Absorbing Panels 90cm Yellow
The Plettro panel is inspired by the well-known musical accessory used by guitarists (pen), but this geometric shape does not come solely from a design choice and the reference to the musical world is only one of the suggestions. The idea of this new product actually comes from its specific shape resolution and potential acoustic performances, in addition to its remarkable aesthetic features and suitability for integration into various architectural contexts.
The Triangolo-di-ReuleauxPlettro shape is well known by the technical name “Reuleaux Triangle” and consists of three curves based on the equilateral triangle, with all perimeter points equidistant from the center of the triangle. It is therefore an extremely interesting geometry from an acoustic point of view, because the surface of the panel can give an acoustic normal response to the incident sound wave, as is the case in the circular form.
CONCEPT AND TECHNOLOGY
Until now, the technical implementation of sound-absorbing elements for suspended ceilings, based on complex shapes, was reserved for marginal and expensive artisanal facilities, because every serial production requires the development of modular industrial processes.
During the preliminary design phase, we considered the possibility of adopting the thermoforming production technique, the most widespread method in the world of furniture and interior decoration. At the same time, the need to develop a functional acoustic enhancement tool suitable for professional audio environments led us to evaluate alternatives for providing sound absorption over a wider range of audio frequencies.
Acoustic installations with elements suspended from the ceiling require extremely stable panels, which do not bend over time. For this reason, we decided to use a perimeter thermoplastic polymer frame made as a valid alternative to common wooden frames.
The other parts of the Plettro are also made of fire-resistant plastic polymers. The sound-absorbing core is made with medium-density polyester characterized by a high-density smooth surface that acts as a "vibrating membrane".
The lining of the panels is made with colored polyester fiber fabric, completely transparent to sound waves. There is a wide variety of colors and our Trevira fabric has a range of fire retardant, anti-UV, tear resistant and Oeko-Tex – Class 1 certifications. Panels with removable fabric cover are also available if requested.
INSTALLATION FRAME
Plettro is especially suitable for prestigious historical buildings, thanks to its shape (comparable to a triangle) and can be placed in the standard horizontal position, but also attached to complex vaulted ceilings (barrel, ribbed, cross or gazebo).
The modern and curious design of these absorbers allows Plettro to be suitable even for real architectural environments, such as large open workplaces, showrooms, museums and exhibition spaces.
Maintenance of the Plettro is very easy due to the composition of its plastic materials. This aspect is fundamental for acoustic installations in restaurants, pizzerias, bars and similar areas where cleanliness is required.
Plettro is a professional tool for noise and reverberation control and for the most complex installations in music sound spaces such as auditoriums, theaters, concert halls and multi-function rooms.
