Knauf AMF Ceilings secret speaker makes a big noise
Published:  27 May, 2011

Knauf AMF Ceilings were recently specified to help meet complex acoustic requirements within the new 308-seat Large Lecture Theatre at Bournemouth University’s Kimmeridge House facility. A sophisticated processing system has been installed that allows the reverberation in the theatre to be adjusted to suit the specific situation, whether short reverberation times for lectures or longer reverberation times for musical concerts.

With such high-tech equipment, it was essential that the ceiling system would work effectively to enhance the variable acoustics.

Knauf AMF Thermatex Alpha ceiling tiles were chosen as they provide Class A sound absorption. They are lightweight and have a strong, white surface giving a smooth, elegant appearance. Alongside this, 20 Knauf AMF Soundmosaic tiles were also installed.

The Knauf AMF Soundmosaic is a flat-panel loudspeaker in a modular ceiling format that works on the principle of wave conversion, meaning the mineral fibre ceiling tile itself is the loudspeaker. The oscillation is produced by a module on the reverse of the tile, which looks identical to the rest of the Knauf AMF ceiling. Soundmosaic is available in all Thermatex face patterns.
