Sound Absorption of the three models

(Silenzio Ø 90, 120 e 150 cm) based on test results

in compliance with EN ISO 335:2003 “measurement

of sound absorption in a reverberation room”.

Model of application

restaurant

Location analysis

the quality of a restaurant is a combination of different factors: quality

of food, service and environment and a good quality of speech combined

with acoustic comfort.

Solution

the Silenzio suspensions are the perfect solution because they are

simple shapes which enrich the spaces thanks to the high quality of the

textiles; they diffuse a comfortable light and provide high levels of

acoustic absorption.

Room data

L=15m

W=7m

H=5,5m

Different height from 2,5 mt to 2,9 mt AFF

Lighting source used

LED module 41W

Fixtures installation

5xSilenzioØ90cm

9 x Silenzio Ø 120 cm

Illuminance average

Table (min) 180 lx

Table (max) 452 lx

Before

time of reverberation* 3,16 s

After

(with Silenzio) time of reverberation 1,55 s

Decrease of reverberation: about 51%**

Measuring reverberation time allows to calculate total sound absorption.

Reverberation time varies according to the frequency. If reverberation

time is too long, the space can have echoes and rumbles.

The data is always approximate: the software doesn’t take in considera-

tion the position of the speaker and the position of absorbent surfaces.
