Acoustic Transparency – What’s the Big Deal?

Acoustic transparency is a concept that is related to the loss of acoustic fidelity when sound waves pass through a material such as a stage banner. So what’s the big deal?

Many musicians place banners in front of their speakers without considering how the material affects the sound quality including high frequency loss.

We make acoustically transparent banners which minimize the loss of sound quality because they are printed on mesh which allows the sound to pass through. The most common mesh we print on is 70/30. This means it is 70 percent fabric and 30 percent open. Most bands find this works well since it offers premium sound quality, minimal blow-back and maintains the integrity of the art.
