Wave Wood is specifically designed to control excessive and unwanted frequencies while maintaining a bright, ambient sound. The panel's design, which includes a series of non-linear cavities set into an elegant wood finish, has proved highly effective in the treatment of medium and high frequencies while also enhancing the appearance of room interiors.
"The whole installation project took eight days to complete, with the team having to work almost continually at a height of 13m", commented 21dB's managing director Fouad Bechwati. "The panels themselves were very easy to install, except for a triangular section at the back that was very hard to access and quite tricky to execute due to some irregularities in the walls. This small section took three days alone.
"However the results were excellent with both church leaders and visitors commenting on the amazing clarity of speech and noticeably reduced reverberation, as well as the stunning appearance of the wood finish. Acoustic measurements have also indicated that St. Gabriel Church will be an ideal venue for classical music recording in addition to regular worship activities."
