2 Excellent acoustics: The comprehensive solution Architectural acoustics is primarily concerned with sound insulation, or more specifically with the question: How can I prevent sound from entering a room? In indoor acoustics, on the other hand, the question is: Which surfaces can I utilize to create ideal sound conditions in a room? It is a matter of sound absorption, the capacity of surfaces to absorb sound and thus to improve acoustics. This is where acoustic room optimization comes into play. Various factors must be taken into account, such as sound level, reverberation time as well as desired or undesired speech intelligibility (e.g. conversations in the background). This is a task that requires differentiated and comprehensive solutions You can learn more about this topic in the Office Forum trade journal no. 8: "Indoor Acoustics" or online at / sonicwall 2

3 SonicWall is a unique series that combines excellent acoustics with an appealing appearance. It was designed to elegantly integrate acoustically effective surfaces into all areas of a room. Sound absorption is achieved by means of sound absorbers. In the past, sound absorbers have tended to diminish the appearance of a room. Regardless of whether they were used to reduce sound and reverberation time or for the purpose of blocking sound out (to prevent interferences): It seemed that good acoustics and appealing design were difficult to combine. SonicWall puts an end to this problem it offers attractively designed, complementary solutions for any task SonicWall Steel: This acoustically highly effective, micro-perforated steel material combines superb acoustic efficiency with a pleasing and homogeneous appearance. The perforation is so small that it is barely visible from several feet away. SonicWall Steel can be integrated into the Monotop partition system as well as the Asisto und Symbio cabinet systems with Symbio it can even be integrated into the rear panel. 2 3 SonicWall Clear: The translucent plastic honeycomb material with micro-perforation combines sound absorption qualities with a transparent and light appearance. 4 SonicWall Soft (stand-up wall): Fabric-covered, acoustically effective stand-up wall with custom printed motifs or also fabrics provided by customers. As a single wall or a workstation divider. 5 6 SonicWall Soft (picture frame and ceiling element): Ideal for the retroactive addition of absorption surfaces in a room: Fabric-covered, acoustically effective elements that can be hung on walls or suspended from ceilings as ceiling absorbers. Both options come with custom printed motifs or with fabrics provided by customers. 3

6 Custom motifs: The SonicWall Soft textile cover is available with custom motifs of your choice. (image rights and high-resolution print data assumed) Examples from the C+P motif collection: You can view the latest collection at / sonicwall. All motifs shown there are available as standard options. SonicWall Soft: Customized Sound absorbers with printed textiles combine functionality with convenience. On the one hand, this product makes it possible to create a certain mood in the room, and on the other hand, it is one of the easiest ways to display corporate identity using optical elements. The simple SonicWall Soft changing system ensures that the motif you pick doesn't have to be permanent. The motif fabric can also be easily exchanged on site at a low cost. This makes SonicWall Soft not only a sound absorber but also a modern design element. Acoustically effective: Apart from their visual and motivating presence, the hedge elements also have a sound-absorbing effect. 6

7 Perfect accessories for good sound absorption and healthy greening are green walls and hedge elements from the C+P Climate Office range. The mobile hedges are available with additional acoustically effective backing. A pleasant indoor climate has a beneficial and soothing impact on aural, visual, and respiratory health. Shielding: The capacity to shield off sounds is just as important in a room as general sound absorption: Reciprocal disruptions, which can be caused by phone calls or conversations, should be avoided. The purpose of good sound barriers is to enclose the noise source completely or partially (in L, C or H plan view) and additionally help to reduce noise levels in the room through sound absorption.

Stretch ceiling with controllable lighting: While the stretch ceiling creates a modern and homogeneous surface area, the underlying lighting elements create the right kind of light even RGB lighting, which can create any conceivable light mood. The study of lighting biology teaches us how light and colors can influence not only the psyche but even have a positive effect on the body. SonicWall Steel: Integrated design Interior design competence does not end with furnishings. In a conference room, for example, it can include acoustics, light, media technology, and ventilation or climate control. SonicWall Steel and the Monotop partition system work hand in hand here. The micro-perforation not only ensures excellent sound absorption, it also allows for complete extraction by means of a ventilation system an effective solution which C+P has been using in laboratory construction for many years. Intelligent media technology can be incorporated into the wall system seamlessly. Via the illuminated stretch ceiling, RGB light can be used to create different light moods in the room. Good speech intelligibility is particularly important in conference rooms. Reverberation times should neither be too long nor should the room be overly muted. The right lighting is important as well. Upon request, we therefore offer software-supported acoustic and lighting planning. Wireless charging: Wireless charging modules can be installed under the Premio tabletop for example for charging smartphones wirelessly. 19

27 Preserving ecological value Sustainability and ecological awareness are very important to us. In our production, we use energy and resource saving processes, recycle a large portion of the material we use, and aim for durability in our quality products. SonicWall Steel a green material Steel recycling can be an important contribution to resource saving. Steel can be melted over and over again without losing any of its quality. In Germany, almost half of all steel is produced from this secondary raw material. That lowers the amount of energy consumed by production as well as CO 2 emissions. Steel combines ecology, stability, and design in an ideal manner. SonicWall Soft textile made from 100% recycled PET In a special procedure, PET bottles can be transformed into a thread that is woven into a high-quality textile, which is then suitable for printing in large formats. This procedure somewhat resembles the cycles of matter in nature, in which waste and old matter serve as the basis for new products. It takes about 15 recycled PET bottles (0.5 l) to create a 1 m 2 textile print. The interior absorber filling is also available in recycled PET. The benefits of SonicWall Soft n Textile and interior absorber filling made from 100% recycled PET n Low raw material consumption n Living climate protection n Flame resistant PET packaging recycling Planning On request, we offer project-specific planning to optimize indoor acoustics including auralization.
