COMPANY OVERVIEW
With expertise in creating optimal sound environments, Eckel Noise Control Technologies has been at the forefront of acoustic analysis and design since 1952. Founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Eckel helped to create the world's first Anechoic Chamber at Harvard University. Since then, the company has pioneered chamber design for use in product testing from cell phones to cars to jet engines helping engineers and manufacturers achieve exceptional quality standards.
Building on the science behind its Anechoic Chambers, Eckel set the standard for the design and manufacture of other types of noise control solutions. Audiometric Rooms & Studios create the ideal controlled environment for hearing testing, recording and other sound isolation applications. Acoustic Panels provide precise control of reverberation and background noise in any setting from auditoriums and gyms to concert halls and industrial facilities. Industrial Enclosures offer custom-engineered options for worksite noise isolation.
No matter the acoustic challenge, Eckel has a sound solution.

Eckoustic Functional Panels (EFP)
Eckoustic Functional Panels are high performance, sound-absorbing, fire resistant panels which can be spot located on walls or ceilings to achieve effective noise control.
EFPs are independent units that can be put into place without disturbing existing utilities. EFPs provide multi-functional and adaptive acoustic control and do so at considerably less cost than conventional continuous ceiling or wall treatment.

Voiceover Rooms and Studios
Eckel™s Voiceover Rooms and Studios offer an ideal environment for vocal and other recording studio applications. Eckel studios and voiceover rooms create the perfect acoustic setting for audio engineering and the recording of live performances in a controlled setting.
Engineered and built using the same technology found in our clinical grade audiometric rooms voiceover rooms and studios offer the same design qualities and performance capabilities. The walls, windows, ceiling and door systems incorporate acoustic treatment and provide an ideal environment for all types of recordings. The doors seal with double magnetic gaskets, and all doors and optional windows are STC-rated assemblies, providing a high degree of sound separation between the recording room and the control room. Additionally, isolated floors prevent the transmission of low-frequency vibration noise. Rooms and studios feature a quiet ventilation system, ceiling lighting and AC outlets. Audio cables provide microphone and amplifier connections to the control room. And, like our Audiometric Rooms, installation is easy with our unique cam-lock modular construction.
Eckel™s Voiceover Rooms and Studios provide the ideal environment for vocal recording, overdubs, performance enhancements and other studio applications. While the array of applications is endless, the rooms are often used for production, recording and broadcasting of live musical and theatrical performances, lectures, symposia, oral histories and video interviews.

Portable Anechoic Chambers
Eckel™s Portable Anechoic Chambers (PACs) are full anechoic chambers scaled to a size that makes them ideal for a range of uses including acoustic testing of small devices, calibration of microphones, free field response testing of loudspeakers and behavioral studies of small animals.
These high performance chambers are available in a range of sizes with low frequency cut-offs of 150, 200, 250 and 450-500 hertz. As their name implies PACs are designed for versaility and portability and are available as complete pre-assembled chambers or in a sectional design that can be readily bolted or cam-locked together on-site for fast and easy assembly.
PACs are constructed utilizing a 2″-4″ thick sound attenuating outer wall structure with pre-tested anechoic wedges lining the interior walls, ceiling and door of the enclosures. Available wedge designs include perforated metallic , standard fiberglass , fiberglass cloth covered and standard E-element. The non-reflective floors provide a maintainable sound absorption level inside the chamber. Optional features and accessories include vibration isolation mounts, floor grating, ventilation, and instrument supports and hangers.
PACs provide an optimal acoustic environment within which to perform a range of R&D tests related to the effect of noise and vibration on product performance and can reliably establish quality control benchmarks of mechanical and electric components and component systems. PACs also provide the ideal environment to test and evaluate a range of performance metrics and sound output levels of small audio devices such as cell phones, tablets and laptop computers.

SuperSoft Test Chambers
Eckel™s Supersoft Test Chambers offer a practical and economical alternative for many hemi-anechoic testing applications. Supersoft chambers utilize proprietary low-profile corrugated panels as the interior acoustic treatment to achieve baseline performance that meets ISO 3744 test standards and can also be engineered to meet lab grade testing criteria of ISO 3745.
SuperSoft panel linings can be installed in a new or existing structure. They cover the walls and ceiling using a track and batten system. Fill density and panel spacing from the walls determine the acoustic performance. The ™V™ ridge facing design of the perforated metal panels enhances acoustic performance by reflecting unabsorbed energy back into the acoustic treatment rather then back into the host room.
SuperSoft chambers are suitable for a range of acoustic test facility projects where a lab grade full or hemi-anechoic chamber is not needed or is cost-prohibitive. They are particularly useful for testing products that will be used on a solid surface, such as vehicles, construction machinery and major appliances.

Acoustic Panels Reduce Noise and Boost Productivity at Adelphi University
Libraries are notoriously quiet, or at least they're meant to be. But what happens when students need to interact for studying and project work? How can libraries effectively accommodate these activities and keep the noise down for other patrons?
Columbus, Ohio Wastewater Treatment Plant improves working conditions with Eckel acoustic panels
It's a fact of life in every industrial facility: Heavy machinery and a cavernous room are a bad combination. The noise generated in such an environment quickly becomes intolerable, not to mention dangerous for those working there. Facility managers and operators at the Southerly and Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plants in Columbus, Ohio, as well as officials in the City's Division of Sewerage and Drainage, are on alert for those conditions and the associated risks.
Coney Island Wastewater Treatment Plant
Industrial plants are known for being loud, acoustically-harsh environments. The combination of high ceilings, reflective surfaces and the din from heavy machinery creates an optimal environment for reverberation and noise. Such conditions can decrease productivity and increase safety hazards, creating a unique challenge for facility managers. That is the problem the Coney Islan Wastewater Treatment Plant faced after an evaluation of the acoustic levels in its facility.
Noise Takes a Dive at Fremont Ross High School Natatorium
When you combine loud activity and a raucous crowd in a space surrounded by hard surfaces, you get an acoustic nightmare. Sound bounces all over the place, reverberating in ways that are unintelligible, distracting and unpleasant. This is exactly the scenario encountered in buildings with indoor pools, also known as natatoriums, and it's a problem that Fremont Ross High School in Fremont, OH needed to solve. Eckoustic Functional Panels from Eckel Noise Control Technologies provided the remedy, transforming the school's natatorium into a space acoustically suited for every intended purpose.
Eckel EFPs Transform Malone University Gym into Acoustic Champion
Universities, colleges and schools need to accommodate a variety of academic and extra-curricular functions, as well as community activities. But it's entirely impractical and prohibitively expensive to build a separate venue for each purpose. So, academic facilities are left with a common challenge: How to maximize the usability of on-
campus space to serve multiple functions. When the space in question is a gymnasium, it adds extra layers of difficulty. This is the challenge that Canton, Ohio's Malone University faced, and one that Eckel Noise Control Technologies EFPs solved.
