An acoustic curtain comprising a panel of sound absorbent material within an envelope formed from polymeric sheets, with means for attaching adjacent panels to one another, and wherein the curtain comprises a magnetic element.

An acoustic system includes: a first customer-side microphone; a first counselor-side microphone; a first sound changing unit; a first loudspeaker; a second customer-side microphone; a second counselor-side microphone; and a second loudspeaker. Between the second loudspeaker and the first customer-side microphone, a first sound transmission path is provided. Also, between the second loudspeaker and the first counselor-side microphone, a second sound transmission path is provided. These sound transmission paths have substantially the same length. The first sound signal generated by the first customer-side microphone is made to have a phase substantially opposite to that of the second sound signal generated by the first counselor-side microphone, and the sound signals are added together.

A sound abatement system and method providing for assembly of stacked acoustic suppression walls is disclosed. The system incorporates vertical support members (VSM) and/or vertical I-beams (VIB) driven into the ground that support an acoustic suppression panel (ACP) array by virtue of diagonal fastening cables (DFC). The DFC in one preferred embodiment utilizes a combination of threaded J-hooks, cable loops, and angle iron to fix the ACP to the VSM/VIB by frictional contact.

A panel assembly includes a vertical panel, an overhang panel and a curved transition panel disposed between the vertical panel and the overhang panel. A fabric layer may be applied to one or more of the various panels by way of a stay being engaged with fabric layer and inserted through an opening in the one or panels. A light assembly may be secured to the panel assembly with a mounting portion. A hook assembly includes vertical and horizontal flanges, with a magnet coupled to the horizontal flange and a hook connected to the vertical flange.

A sound management system for a virtual production volume may include one or more acoustic baffles configured to reduce sound reverberation within the production volume while allowing transmission of visible light through the baffle. In some examples, the system may comprise a transparent baffle curtain hanging from a frame. The transparent baffle curtain may be configurable in terms of position, size, and/or orientation, such that the baffle curtain is movable to different locations within the virtual production volume. The transparent baffle curtain may be coupled to one or more frames configured to permit repositioning and/or relocation of the structure within the virtual production volume. The baffle curtain may be configured to absorb and/or diffuse sound waves incident on the baffle curtain and allow transmission of visible light through the baffle curtain.
