About Acousta-Wal
Acousta-Wal® sound-absorbing masonry units are your acoustical and aesthetic solution in one product. Whether it’s a school gym, lecture hall or performance arts center, acoustical CMUs are your indoor/outdoor solution to sound absorption and control. Its unique design controls sound transmission as it absorbs sound waves. The Acousta-Wal system works to absorb sound at all frequencies, even the difficult-to-control low frequencies.
Acousta-Wal is a performance upgrade option, which may be added to a number of structural concrete masonry units. It has a closed top and vertical slots on its face, exposing the inner cavity. Working much like an automobile muffler, the closed-end cavities of the different size units resonate to sound waves of different frequencies, converting them harmlessly to heat.
