Kinetics is thrilled to introduce two NEW budget-friendly sound absorption products for indoor and outdoor applications. For indoor applications, Kinetics model PET is an industrial polyester, acoustic, absorption panel manufactured of recycled PET with ultra-low VOC emissions and bleach cleanability. Kinetics model KNP-E lends well for both indoor and outdoor applications achieving the acoustical and durability performance of the standard Kinetics KNP panels at a reduced manufacturing cost. Tune in to hear John Sofra, John Sofra, Director of Sales - North America | Commercial "Airside" | Industrial | Environmental Markets, provide an introduction and overview of both exciting new products.
Join Ben Hickey, Kinetics Director of Sales for the Room Acoustics and Home Markets, to learn more about two exciting new additions to the Room Acoustics line-up: QuietTile LightHood and VersaTune Low Frequency (VTLF)! QuietTile LightHood is a welcome addition to the QuietTile acoustical ceiling tile system because it prevents unwanted reverberation from making it through the noise gap created by lights in a ceiling grid. VersaTune Low Frequency (VTLF) is an extraordinarily low-frequency absorber with bass trap style performance at 80 Hz. This is a webinar you won't want to miss!
Additional details coming soon
In this webinar, you will learn proper methods for selecting fixed-blade acoustic louvers, applications, and structural support methods. Whether filling an opening in a building mechanical room or incorporating them into acoustic enclosures or NOISEBLOCK barrier wall systems, acoustic louvers are a valuable and important component to controlling noise while balancing pressure drop allowing for proper ventilation.

She also discussed how to locate attenuation products to maximize your performance while considering the impacts on the overall HVAC system.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom March 2021, Kinetics multi-disciplined engineering team understands the complex nature of many of our client’s vibration problems. Kinetics engineering services are built on over 200 years of collective experience and the expertise to develop the best solution for the problem at hand. Kinetics is proud to announce six new engineering services Kinetics can provide. Lee Chiddention, HVAC Market Manager, and Tom Yuschak, VP of Engineering, discussed the services being offered and their benefits.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom February 2021, Lee Chiddention, Kinetics HVAC Market Manager, discussed two exciting new products for the HVAC market: KSR 2.0 and KCI. Kinetics KSR 2.0 Vibration Isolation Roof Curb Rail is engineered to isolate packaged rooftop equipment from the roof structure. They're specifically designed and engineered for use as a noise and vibration isolation system for roof curb-mounted mechanical equipment. Kinetics KCI Spring Isolator is a compact, lightweight, restrained spring isolator that's recommended for small to medium mechanical equipment near critically quiet areas where there is also a need for Wind or Seismic restraint. This presentation included an introduction and overview of both products.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom January 2021, discover a few of the advantages of working with Kinetics Noise Control Building Materials Group. Listen as David King, of Kinetics Noise Control Building Materials Group discusses constructability and how engaging the Kinetics Team early on with your next construction project can save you time and money. This presentation will look over constructability of projects and how the Kinetics Team offers alternative solutions to support you in meeting your construction and acoustical needs.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom November 2020, in this webinar targeted to architects, Jason Ehrlich reviewed room acoustics basics like NRC and Reverberation Time. Then dissected a recent laboratory test report from the kleen lineup and discover how terms like Sabins might offer a better way to consider suspended acoustical products. Lastly he did a quick acoustic comparison between the new PET products and other products that are specially tuned to meet specific acoustic needs.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom October 2020, Ben Hickey, National Sales Manager, introduced the kleen line of products. kleen features recycled PET, offering ultra-low VOC emissions and bleach cleanability. The material is formaldehyde free and 100% recyclable. kleen balances acoustical design with an emphasis on environmental wellness. kleen includes seven different cloud and baffle products, two wall coverings, and two dividers. With close to forty colors to choose from, custom shapes and sizes, as well as cutout patterns available on many products, the design possibilities are endless. This presentation will provide an overview of the products, as well as a short discussion on PET in general, including acoustics.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom September 2020, Airborne noise generated from HVAC equipment is a concern in commercial and industrial buildings. Duct system components allow the sound to transfer from AHU/RTU’s along both supply and return air paths to critical occupied spaces. The most common, cost effective method to control this noise to acceptable levels is to design proper duct silencers within the air paths. In this 30min webinar, Kristen Neath discussed duct silencers, their use, proper application and performance characteristics in this 30 minute overview.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom July 2020, Jason Ehrlich, Strategic Marketing Administrator, delivers a brief introduction of Home Theater acoustics. Home Theaters are a challenging environment to tune due to the broad frequency of sound not found in other environments. Jason looks at some of our "music rated" absorbers, explore a list of materials typical of a theater, and look at a professional package where room treatment has been laid out specific to the selected audio equipment.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom August 2020, in this 20 minute webinar, Lee Chiddention gives an introduction to mechanical system vibration isolation. This brief presentation focused on Vibration isolation Selection, ASHRAE isolation types, briefly covered in-curb acoustical treatments, and concluded with how Kinetics can assist with delegated design and certification.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom May and June 2020, in this 20 minute prerecorded webinar, Jason Ehrlich discusses the features of various spring hangers used in concrete construction. He looks at an interesting series of acoustical tests that were fun using a 6" concrete slab and the same hanger. Finally he tours a new product page and reviews new tools that are available to designers.
VIEW RECORDINGFrom June and July 2020, Noise emanating from air-cooled chillers into critical areas: screw compressors (bottom sides of unit) generate mid/hi frequency noise; up-blast fans (top of unit) generate low/mid frequency noise. A common approach is to control noise from only one of these noise sources. Kinetics offers engineered solutions to control noise emanating from both sound sources, taking into account proper equipment operation, maintenance access and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Listen to this 20-min, prerecorded webinar, by John Sofra to learn more.
