Pixie Dust Technologies develops hard sound absorbing panel
“iwasemi(TM) SQ-α” applying acoustic metamaterial technology ～A space that attracts the eye and attracts the sound～
Pixie Dust Technologies Inc. (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, CEO: Yoichi Ochiai, Taiichiro Murakami, hereinafter “PxDT”), which promotes audiovisual digital innovation, has developed an innovative sound absorbing material “iwasemi(TM)” using acoustic metamaterial technology. We have developed a hard sound absorbing panel
“iwasemi(TM) SQ-α” equipped with
“iwasemi(TM) SQ-α” is a new sound absorbing material that realizes hard materials and various painting expressions that were difficult with conventional sound absorbing materials. This product is scheduled to be released around December 2022.

background
Most of the conventional sound absorbing panels are made of fabric or felt to give a soft impression.
In industrial spaces and inorganic spaces, there are cases where conventional sound absorbing panels cannot meet the needs of designers who design spaces.
In order to solve such problems, PxDT utilizes one of the
characteristics of iwasemi, “freedom in material selection and high degree of freedom in processing,” to create a hard and versatile material that was difficult to achieve with conventional sound absorbing panels. We have started developing a sound absorbing panel with a high degree of design that combines a sophisticated painting expression.
Features of “iwasemi(TM) SQ-α”
“iwasemi(TM) SQ-α” has the following features.
Taking advantage of the material flexibility of iwasemi(TM), we have realized a hard material that blends in with the space and a variety of painting expressions.
Equipped with a sound absorbing structure design that specializes in the frequency band of 500 to 1000 Hz, which is often included in the human voice.
By using recycled resin for about 60% of the main body, we aimed to create an environmentally friendly product.
Since the back of the main unit is a magnet, it can be easily installed. These features make it possible to easily create a space that achieves both acoustic performance and design.
