Acoustic foam is available in two general types. There are open celled foams and closed cell foams. Closed cells foams are more durable and perform better. The four thicknesses of closed celled foams, designed and created by Acoustic Fields, took eight years to develop with a design requirement of a smooth absorption response. No peaks or valleys allowed in the absorption curves. We must have smooth performance for both voice and music to really shine through without being smothered.

The PFP series of Acoustic Foam engineered by Acoustic Fields

Absorbing reflections from our walls using foam is a popular method of controlling them, so we do not get confusion and distortion at our listening or monitoring positions. One can not just use any type of absorption. Absorption must be smooth and not over or under absorb any part of the sound spectrum. Foam works well in this situation because it is lightweight and durable.

The issue with foams currently in the marketplace is that they absorb at uneven rates and levels. If you look at their absorption curves the first thing you notice is numerous peaks and valleys. Some frequencies are absorbed 100%, some frequencies are not absorbed at all. It is crucial to have performance that is consistent and predictable when it comes to treating your hi-fi, home theater or professional recording room. It is also critical to absorb all frequencies at a rate and level that does not smother them completely but only takes just enough energy away to tame the reflection at your listening or monitoring position.

Acoustic Fields acoustic foams come in four thicknesses which enable one to choose the appropriate rate and level of absorption to fit the acoustical need. One can match the foam thickness with the sound pressure level played in the room and achieve a balanced rate and level of absorption that will allow for all vocals and instruments to be heard. There will a distinct and clear separation between vocals and instruments.

Each foam technology thickness is wrapped in a solid wood, furniture grade finished unit. Numerous acoustically transparent fabric pattern and color selections are available.

The mission statement at Acoustic fields is to raise the room acoustic product up to the component level equal in performance and appearance to the amplifier and speaker. With the foam technology of Acoustic Fields inside a solid wood cabinet, these objectives have been met.
