Understanding a room’s natural vibes! Eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of a reverberant chamber
Juan Negreira, our Concept Developer at S-G Ecophon Spain, explains in this video what the phenomena of resonance and eigenmodes of a room are. Likewise, he exemplifies the concepts by means of a simple experiment carried out inside the reverberant chamber of Lund University (Sweden). A structure (either solid of fluid), due to the fact […]
Multipurpose spaces function much better for their activities after acoustic improvements

This is a chance to experience and share difference between being inside a room coated with highly absorptive material versus in a […]
