About this material

perforated panel

ACT WRM perforated panels have circular or linear holes, also called multiple Helmholtz resonators, in the cavity of which porous material has been placed.
In such a configuration, the incident wave is unable to make the base panel move; only the vibration of air in the holes is relevant. The air inside the porous material and in the cavity acts as a spring secured at one end by light air masses which vibrate in the holes.
The system has a resonance frequency which is controllable by changing the thickness of the air gap, the size and shape of the holes and the depth of the hole neck.
