The BASWAphon acoustics systems provide control of reverberation in rooms with reverberant, reflecting surfaces and materials (concrete, glass, stone, metal etc.) discards the acoustic energy generated in the room itself and generates an unpleasant noise level and a diffuse sound. This impairs the well-being and concentration.

In contrast, sound-absorbing surfaces destroy a great part of the acoustic energy occurring and, thereby, permit the original source of sound to emerge clearly: noises are effortlessly differentiated, the spoken word is easily understood. For this reason, many countries progressively provide a restriction of reverberation in their legislation, above all in public areas. Also in housing construction, control of reverberation is becoming

increasingly more significant.

Often, the restriction of reverberation is included in the design concept of architects (perforated panels, perforated surfaces, industrial prefabricated elements etc.). In contrast, the BASWA technology is adaptable   (in its surface structure, colouring, shape), so that it can be included in esthetical concepts with no problem –

BASWAphon surfaces are optically not regarded as acoustic surfaces.
