The MELLOWCLOUD® DIF is a One Dimensional Curved Shaped Diffuser Acoustic panel for Multipurpose, Auditoriums and Theatre Halls.
This is a product was devised to be suspended in ceilings or metal grids; it can be also used as fixed or motorized acoustic shells. This type of acoustic
material is mainly applied in large area of application such as auditoriums, conference rooms, multipurpose rooms and airports, places where acoustic
treatment with a modular continuous surface is required.
It is a diffuser material that also provides somewhat of homogenous sound spectrum absorption. The MELLOWCLOUD® DIF evolves and meets the aesthetic
challenge, while also offering an optimal sound diffusion and absorption characteristics.
The architecture involves rectilinear and curvilinear lines. Flat rigid surfaces provide uneven sound pressure across the audience area. Shaping and curving
the surfaces can improve the coverage of the sound diffusion; this will help the results, although it is a vast subject that requires its own tools of experimentation
on case-by-case base for each project. These concepts were well assimilated into modern architectural acoustic designs, offering more generic ideas
and shapes that architects could integrate into their designs.
MELLOWCLOUD® DIF provides architects and designers with wide latitude in curvilinear design. Contributing to the solution and provide curvilinear surfaces, JOCAVI provides this model in two different options; standard and custom pieces. MELLOWCLOUD® DIF can be customized as to its shape and size to better adapt to each space. Custom panels offer in a variety of types, sizes, ellipses, geometric
shapes, vaults, acoustical domes, thicknesses, and finishes.
This model can be compared and combined with MELLOWCLOUD® ABS witch have the same ideology.
SHAPE OPTIMIZATION
To customize the panel’s modulation, JOCAVI® combines a three dimensional
software program with non-periodic sequence theories, which
determines the best shape and size, the best arraying tilt and positioning,
to be applied to insure a uniform natural sound coverage.
This Ray Tracing
Software incorporates and determines the fundamental scattering
diffusion rays to archive an optimal sound energy scattering.
The sound
energy can be propagated to the listening positions, then the uniformity of
the scattered pressures at all listening positions areas is evaluated trough
simulation and the process is repeated until a satisfactory shape and
solution is obtained.
After this process is then, the drawing, sent to the
factory to manufacture the panel. This is crucial procedure to provide
optimal ensemble for musicians and audience. |

CONSTRUCTION
Panel consists of a 74mm (MD-EPPS 32 kg/m3), 6mm of JOCAVI exclusive composite paste (JCP® 110 kg/m3) made of micro-fibers glass
and gypsum composing a special high acoustic performance layer.
A coat
of a water-base paint finish is optional which provides very versatile
appearance.
Each panel have only four supports/hangers with (M6 nut screw), witch is
very easy to mount in ceilings or metal structures with our recommended
mounting accessories. Aluminium hardware and metal cables can be
provided at right size according to each installation.
The panels can be coupled to each other with our aluminium bars, and
then, they can be hung together as a cluster.
It is possible apply specific lighting embedded in the panels, contact
JOCAVI® for more information. |

INSTALATION
MELLOWCLOUD® DIF is easily mounted in ceilings with our suspension
method composed by; metal-wires, aluminium frames, and
accessories.
The panels can be hanged individually or connected together.
Depending on the orientation of adjacent panels allowing a variety
of tiling options. Each panel’s tilt is independent and can be adjust
to better serve the forestage coverage in the seating area.
These panels are extremely delicates and should be handled with
care, they’re supplied with a plastic cover to avoid damage during
handling and installation.
The product is relatively light so we can
recommend two workers for handling purposes. |

BENEFITS WHEN USED AS ACOUSTIC SHELL
The purpose of acoustic shells involving the orchestras is to use both the
acoustic energy and sound, which were beforehand wasted in the
stagebox, and redirect them towards the audience. It is particularly
important how this is done. Acoustic shells therefore assure a good and
distributed angular coverage and a better balance of the diffusion values
over the sound spectrum.
Acoustic comfort for a musician or musical director is fundamental. It is
impossible to win a battle against a room with bad acoustics. It is a
frustrating situation for musicians, maestros and sound technicians when
that happens and there is nothing within their reach that they can do. The
quality of the interpretation of musical pieces may be enhanced when
conditions are excellent.
The use of MELLOWCLOUD® DIF as acoustic shell
harmonises the sound and enables musicians and audience to listen to each other clearly, thus making their performance pleasant and perfectly harmonious. It also allows highlighting or mildly moderating the several groups of
instruments of the orchestra in accordance with the Maestro's taste.
Musicians, singers and musical directors do not tend to overuse electro-acoustics in order not to distort the natural colour of the instruments and voices.
The use of our AS® acoustic shells increases the natural level of the sound that is genuinely produced by the instruments and naturally increases the level of
the acoustic pressure of the room, thus leading to a balanced diffusion throughout the whole range of the sound spectrum. |
