Sound Balance: A Harmonious Blend of Acoustics and Aesthetics

HYVE AG's Innovative Solution to Noise in Open-Plan Offices

Sound Balance is a product of the digitalisation and New Work mega trends. As co-working spaces gain popularity, the need for quiet zones within these collaborative environments has become apparent. HYVE AG's Sound Balance range addresses this need, offering 34 wall and room elements that not only absorb sound effectively but also enhance the visual appeal of the workspace.

The unique strength of Sound Balance lies in its combination of form and function. The system is designed with a special Sigel acoustic material, which offers superior sound absorption compared to typical absorption foams and fibres. Each absorber in the Sound Balance range is developed with an individual combination of polyester fleece panels of varying densities, ensuring optimum sound absorption.

Sound Balance is not just about performance; it's about interaction. HYVE AG understands the needs of office workers and has designed this system to be most effective when used interactively. The Sound Balance products can be combined as required, uniting modern design language, elegant trapeziums, and three stylish colours with premium product quality.

Sound Balance's excellence has been recognised with a Golden A' Building Materials and Construction Components Design Award in 2020. This award is granted to outstanding creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.

The Sound Balance range was developed over two years in Mertingen, Germany, with the expertise of acoustic specialists at Müller-BBM. All product components were tested for their acoustic properties in the laboratories at Müller-BBM to ensure optimum product performance. The range also meets high safety standards, with GS-certified product safety carried out by TÜV Süd Product Service GmbH and certification in accordance with Fire Safety Class B2.

In conclusion, HYVE AG's Sound Balance range offers a smart, aesthetically pleasing solution to the problem of noise in open-plan offices. It is a testament to the power of design and innovation in improving the quality of our work environments.
