LET HIS WORD BE HEARD CLEARLY: Acoustimac offers excellent acoustic treatment for churches

We go to church and temple to hear god’s word and receive guidance from our beloved ministers, priests or rabbis. Older churches and temples were built to last, but in those days, acoustics didn’t play such a huge role as it does today. Modern religious facilities keep acoustics in mind, but it’s not top of their developers list of priorities. We have seen brand new church buildings that have more echoes and reverb than an old factory.

Acoustimac
manufactures acoustic panels and sound absorbers for noise control built from tried and tested fabrics and materials. Hanging these panels up is as easy as hanging up a picture frame. Adding Acoustimac’s recommended # of panels will make such a difference in your structure’s acoustics, rendering the room much quieter and the speeches much more intelligible. Trust us, your members will appreciate it.

Acoustimac’s high-quality acoustic panels absorb sound to prevent ringing, flutter echoes and acoustic interference from reverberating across the room. A properly deployed acoustic treatment results in tighter bass, better midrange, reduced modal ringing and lower reverb time.

For most church and temple halls, the sound experts at Acoustimac recommend approximately 25-40% coverage of your hard flat surfaces. Acoustimac offers not for profit volume discounts. And For those on a tight budget Acoustimac.com also offers do-it-yourself acoustic materials and instructions so if you decide to take on this feat, you don’t have to waste your valuable time looking for supplies. At Acoustimac.com we have everything you need to build your own acoustic treatment solution.

Acoustimac manufactures its own finished products and ships them to all US states. For more information, visit http://www.Acoustimac.com or call 888-827-1266 and let his word be heard clearly!

QUIET REVOLUTION!: Acoustimac makes soundproofing easy!

QUIET REVOLUTION!:

Acoustimac makes soundproofing easy!

Movie theaters, Church Confessionals, Private Offices, Practice and Recording Studios, all these places have one thing in common, privacy and noise reduction is of utmost importance. Acoustimac has been doing some of its own R&D and combed the web and supplier catalogs for the simplest to deploy, and most effective soundproofing products in the market and we've found some that will definitely get the job done.

Before we go on, there is one clarification we need to make:



Please remember, soundproofing is not the same as a standard acoustic treatment. Generally your standard acoustic treatments remove unpleasant elements such as reverb and echo, conditioning a room’s sound. Acoustimac’s Acoustic treatment solutions can be deployed in virtually any scenario, all you need to do is provide a percentile coverage of your hard surfaces, hang up enough panels and bass traps on the walls and ceilings and your good to go. Acoustimac recommends 25% to 40% wall coverage.

soundproofing on the other hand, is a more laborious process which involves working with your walls, ceilings, floors and building materials, depending on the purpose of your soundproofing project.

There are two Main Purposes for soundproofing:



  • Prevent outside sound from coming into the treated room or building.

  • Prevent sound emitted in the treated room or building from being heard outside.


In order to effectively soundproof a room to achieve both purposes, there are two key ingredients to get it done which need to be implemented over existing walls, ceilings and floors, or embedded into the walls, ceilings and floors of your new project:



  • Mass Loaded Vinyl is the # 1 product used for soundproofing walls, floors and ceilings. It can be used as an underlay for carpets and can be tacked on to the joists on your ceiling and wall studs.

  • Green Glue: A Visco-elastic adhesive used to sandwich two layers of Sheet Rock or Gypsum Board for the walls. Apply a generous layer of adhesive on the back of one layer with a caulk gun and paste the second layer flush with the fist.

    Acoustimac.com now sells rolls of Mass Loaded Vinyl and the state-of-the-art Green Glue Visco-Elastic Adhesive at excellent prices, and as usual, our sound advice is totally free so give us a call today!
