ELLIPSE acoustic pods for 1
Arranging the available workspace in the right way by providing employees with space for phone and video calls makes the workplace much more employee-friendly and boosts creativity. Such arrangements are possible thanks to acoustic pods — VANK’s mobile rooms for 1. Thanks to the special design and the use of sound-absorbing materials, the pods effectively block outside noise and suppress the sound generated inside. ELLIPSE panels with their three-dimensional structure act as diffusers to break up sound waves, bringing well-being to the office. They can be made of a biocomposite or non-woven rPET — grey or upholstered. The pods feature a safety glass door and come with connection panels, a ventilation system, energy-efficient LED ceiling lighting, and a sound system. The pod is also available in a mobile version — on wheels. Acoustic pods will work well not only in office environments but also at event venues, in hotels, in public office buildings, and at airports.

SPEECH LEVEL REDUCTION

ABSORPTION

1 / 3

The VANK panels have excellent sound absorption properties. According to ISO 354:2005, their sound absorption coefficient is alpha = 0.90, which places them in the top-rated Class A category of sound-absorbing materials.

In addition, VANK panels, thanks to their three-dimensional structure, also act as diffusers to break up sound. The use of acoustic diffusers helps avoid the echo effect.

The box has a unique wall construction that includes multiple layers and provides excellent sound insulation. This helps to reduce reverberation both inside the box and in the surrounding area.

Tests carriedout in accordance with ISO 10140-2:2011 showed high sound insulation of the VANK_BOX at Rw= 45 dB.

__ Collection ELLIPSE

The ELLIPSE collection of acoustic pods, walls, wall and desk panels has been created in response to the need for a space for conversations, for meetings that require a break from the influx of external stimuli and focus on what really matters. As a means to maintain the balance between personal space and teamwork. ELLIPSE panels with their three-dimensional structure act as diffusers to break up sound waves, bringing well-being to the office. They can be made of a biocomposite or non-woven rPET — grey or upholstered. Such acoustic solutions will work great not only in office environments, but also in hotels, public office buildings, at airports, and in all sorts of event, industrial, and logistics facilities.
