illbruck - The Top Choice of Broadcast Audio Designers and Engineers for More Than Three Decades

Designing an acoustically ideal sound stage, studio, control room or listening room is a challenge under any conditions. In the real world, where such rooms must fit into an existing building, the acoustical challenges are even greater.

illbruck has been serving the broadcast and recording industry since the first generation of SONEX® acoustic products was developed in the 1970s. Today SONEX audio applications range from TV, radio and recording studios to the test facilities of high-profile speaker and stereo manufacturers.

In addition to the traditional convoluted SONEX acoustical foam, illbruck offers a number of other acoustical products for use in the Broadcast/Audio environment, such as acoustical ceiling tiles, fabric-wrapped wall panels, in-wall barriers, and metal ceiling tiles. All are made from Class 1 fire-rated willtec® foam, which meets ASTM E84 standards for flammability and smoke density.

In the studio control room
Equipment noise, telephones, monitors, disturbances from adjoining room, “live” walls can all prove to be very difficult. Treat wall behind the speakers and the 2 adjacent walls with SONEX Panels for perfect “live end / dead end” acoustics. Or replace your standard ceiling tiles with CONTOUR Ceiling Tiles, which both absorb and contain noise (NRC of up to 1.20 and CAC of 34).

In the studio
Studio acoustics are enhanced by treating 3 non-parallel surfaces, such as two adjacent walls, and the ceiling or the floor. Use FABRITEC Wall Panels for a updated acoustic treatment on the walls and HARMONI Ceiling Tiles.

In production rooms
Make sure your acoustical products work as hard as you do. Be sure to specify Class 1 fire-rated acoustical products. Click here for more information.

In voice-over booths
If your room is providing its own “special effects”, you need SONEX Panels or FABRITEC Wall Panels. SONEXjuniors are perfect for these small rooms.

In offices and boardrooms
Give your offices and conference rooms a fresh look with illbruck’s SQUARELINE Metal Ceiling Tiles. Help keep sounds contained in office areas with PROSPEC Barrier by weaving it inside the walls built with a staggered-stud construction or using it in the plenum space above the drop ceiling system.

In mechanical rooms and enclosures
Noisy equipment next door to listening room? Furnace disrupting your home theater? Isolate squeaks, rumbles, and rattles made by equipment with PROSPEC Composite or PROSPEC Foam Panels.
