The Sound of Silence by Acoustiblok (9/5/2006)

Stand G11, CEDIA UK Expo 2006

Encapsulating a top-end home cinema by keeping the noise out and sound in, without compromising space, can be a tall order.

Custom installers worth their salt will provide a solution to enable the meatiest of sound systems to be used without disturbing the rest of the household and, by the same token, allowing full enjoyment of a film or sound system without disturbance.

More and more custom installers are using Acoustiblok, the thinnest space-saving material on the market, which provides such effective noise reduction it is used in professional sound studios and commercial cinema complexes.

Acoustiblok is only 3mm thick and gives a 26 decibel sound reduction rating, (that is six decibels better than sheet lead). There is also a 6mm product which gives a 32 dB reduction.

The solution from the States is taking the UK AV market by storm and will be exhibited at this year's Cedia Expo at London's Excel from 19-22 June on Stand G11.

Acoustiblok, which is RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) listed; a member of Cedia, and has received an award for innovation and technology endorsed by Defra, is ideal for retro and new build projects.

Acoustiblok can provide an installation service or act as a consultant for the client if an independent installer is appointed.

Mike Ervine, Acoustiblok Managing Director, said:" We showcased Acoustiblok at last year's Cedia show and had an incredible response from the industry.

"Many custom installers found their clients had bought top-end systems but were unable to use them fully because they did not have adequate sound insulation. Now installers are working with us in providing their clients with a solution, enabling them to enjoy their home cinema investment. The feedback from the industry has been excellent and we are looking forward to another successful show at Excel in June."
