Descriptionwarranty
The Sonic Barrier 1/2" acoustic damping foam is a precisely engineered material that offers optimum absorption for its thickness. The material features our exclusive embossed surface finish that helps to trap acoustic energy and improve high frequency performance. This finish is applied to an acoustic-grade open-cell polyether foam, which absorbs and converts the acoustic energy into low-level heat. A very aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive provides easy and permanent installation onto any surface. The Sonic Barrier 1/2" foam is excellent for use in small loudspeaker projects, where bulky damping materials are not feasible. The foam will help absorb unwanted sound from within the cabinet without disrupting airflow between the driver and port. This can reduce unwanted sound reflections and prevent them from exiting through the cone or port. In small enclosures, the foam can add a valuable increase in apparent volume, which can help to offset the space taken up by the driver itself or the port. Sold in 18" x 24" Sheets

Instantly Clear Up Muddy Cabinets
Friday, March 12, 2010
Parts Express Customer from Ontario, Canada  

I bought these just to cover the back of my 15" two way cabs. Applied it, reinstalled the speakers and instantly it sounded 3 times as good. Bass was clearer, and hit harder. Would probably be even better if I had done the whole of the cab. But performance versus price, this is a great product.

Works well, quality control could be better
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Simulation from Central Florida  

Placed 2 orders for a total of 48 pieces in order to build a sound absorbing booth for a client. 12 pieces were great looking, probably 24 were decent but had permanent wrinkles that really detracted aesthetically, and the other 12 had either ugly stains, holes in them, or were cut badly. Bottom line, if you don't care how they look, they are decent value, performance and good adhesive. Parts-express ships fast and accurately.

Works fine. Looks good too.

Bill from MA  

The Sonic Barrier foam attenuates evenly according to my tests with the SpeakerTester spectrum analyzer. I used this on a tweeter so I really only tested from 2Khz on upward. I expected the foam to only attenuate a narrow notch so I was surprised that this worked nearly as well as thick wool felt. It looks good too if you cut it with a long sharp razor. The self-stick option is great.
