BRD HUSH BAFFLES are an effective, economical method of reducing reverberant or reflected noise in rooms and buildings with predominantly hard surface building materials such as wood, glass, plaster, drywall, concrete and metal. Suspended overhead baffles allow for even distribution of large quantities of soft noise absorbing material. By eliminating the reflective contribution back to the source, overall reductions can be in the 4 to 8 dB range. When combined with model HUSH QUILTabsorber blankets on the walls we have actually measured overall reductions as high as 10 to 12 dB although this should be considered the exception and not the rule. BRD HUSH BAFFLES integrate exceptionally well with existing sprinklers, lighting, and heating/air conditioning systems.

• To lower ambient noise levels in reflective environments
• To increase speech intelligibility by reducing “slap echo”
• To lower noise levels in far field away from direct transmission paths
• When enclosures, partitions and direct path control barriers are impractical or cost prohibitive
• To reduce reverberation time
• In “live” reflective spaces where the use of reinforced sound systems are utilized

• To lower noise levels directly next to noisy equipment in the near field
• When 10 dB or greater reductions are required, use direct path barrier treatments instead
• Where sprinkler, lighting and air conditioning operation would be affected
• When reverberation time in the space is already 1 to 1 1/2 seconds
• Do not use HUSH BAFFLES as a direct path enclosure around equipment; use barrier materials instead
