Acoustics
Customized Sound Insulation for Every Wall Construction
The P6 wall test stand at Fraunhofer IBP provides the ideal platform for determining the sound insulation of a wide range of wall constructions, including glass partitions, noise barriers and mobile walls. Measurements are carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10140-2, using cladding shells that reliably suppress flanking transmission. The flexible test opening and integrated Halfen channels enable quick assembly and easy adaptation to specific requirements. Whether for cinemas, offices, or other applications, the test stand delivers results that enable profound acoustic optimization. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and accessible infrastructure, the P6 test stand is designed for complex projects and innovative construction solutions.
