Overview
In addition to good sound insulation, partition wall systems with integrated absorber elements from Strähle also optimise the acoustics within the room and ensure greater well-being and a working environment that enhances concentration.
Together with our project partners, we develop a specific acoustics concept which optimises reverberation times, sound level differences and speech intelligibility. Our function is to harmonise the contrasting effects of building acoustics and room acoustics.

Efficacy of absorbers
Strähle Acoustic Systems fulfil DIN norms 18041, VDI 2569 and ASR. The effectiveness of the absorbers depends on their positioning. The closer the source of sound is, the more efficiently it dampens the sound.
Key acoustic parameters
The reverberation time T and the sound absorption coefficient αw are particularly important for assessing room acoustics. The reverberation time describes how long sound remains in the room and is influenced by factors such as room volume, room geometry, surface texture and furnishings.
Selection of absorber elements
The sound absorption coefficient is determined by the absorptive properties of the materials onto which the sound strikes. The choice of suitable absorber elements depends on the customer’s specific requirements, the use and geometry of the room, and the layout of the workstations.
Optimal listening conditions
Room acoustics are influenced by the sound-absorbing properties of materials and their positioning. When sound strikes absorbent surfaces, some of the sound energy is absorbed and transformed. High-quality absorbers reduce the sound level and ensure better audibility in the room.
Operating principle of partition wall absorbers
The System 7000 combines both, building and room acoustics in order to function as a broadband absorber. The System 7000 combines both, building and room acoustics in order to function as a broadband absorber.
The combination of absorption and sound insulation provides economic efficiency whilst also allowing for creative freedom. The 2000 and 2300 partition wall systems are available in two wall thicknesses (100 and 125 mm). This allows sound insulation and sound absorption to be combined using the Strähle acoustic partition wall.

Room acoustics parameters
| Reverberation time T | the time for the sound pressure level to sink by 60 dB from when it was created |
| Absorption rating α | proportion of sound energy which is not reflected; complete reflection α = 0; complete absorption: α = 1 |
| Rated sound absorption coefficient αw | Refers to the comparison of the frequency response of materials and products with a reference curve. The absorption capacity is measured in the anechoic chamber of an accredited institute using standardised methods. The standardised reference curve is used to calculate the weighted absorption coefficient as a single value. This is read at 500 Hz. |
