J&C Joel installed 49 acoustic roller banner units in the Apex Centre. A leading multi-purpose community and performance venue in Bury St Edmunds. The innovative acoustic system gives the venue’s technical team greater control over the hall’s sound environment, allowing them to optimise acoustics for a wide range of performances and events.
Designed to enhance acoustic performance, the adjustable roller banners enable staff to quickly modify the venue’s acoustics to suit different productions. As a result, performers and audiences benefit from improved sound quality and reduced reverberation throughout the performance hall.
Each acoustic panel features cognac Wool Serge (WS011) bonded to black Premier Wool Serge (WS090). Together, these high-quality acoustic fabrics effectively absorb sound reflections and help create a more controlled and balanced acoustic environment.
To maximise acoustic coverage, J&C Joel manufactured the acoustic roller banner units in a variety of lengths and widths to suit their positioning within the hall. Most units feature a single drop of bonded wool serge. However, several dual-sided acoustic banners were also installed. These advanced units operate using a single motor housed within the roller system, delivering greater acoustic flexibility and efficient operation.
Furthermore, the acoustic roller banner system is controlled through a multi channel hand held unit. As a result, venue staff can quickly adjust banner positions to optimise acoustics for different performances and events.
Raising the banner for quality performances
J&C Joel excels in producing catered acoustic solutions to suit any space. Our acoustic roller banners are perfect for installation in multi purpose venues, allowing operators to quickly adjust acoustics to suit a range of performances.
Each unit is manufactured from two pieces of J&C Joel’s Premier Wool Serge (WS090), bonding them together to create a durable, high performance material. Furthermore, the fabric can be custom dyed to suit any setting.
Moreover, J&C Joel’s experienced teams can develop a tailored acoustic solution for all venues.
