SOUNDCATCHER – Shaping Sound and Light

13&9 Design for XAL Group

SOUNDCATCHER‘s unique design combines perfect, work-compatible light with efficient sound absorption and versatility in use. As a stand-alone design object, in an angular, round, or octagonal shape, it offers a fascinating new look from any viewing angle. As a modular system with or without integrated lighting, SOUNDCATCHER allows the creation of ceiling panels of different sizes for spatial zoning. The cavities between the layers effectively “trap” sound. These properties make SOUNDCATCHER the ideal solution for office, hospitality, and hotel projects, as well as for educational facilities.

SOUNDCATCHER boasts a unique aesthetic that also lends it its exceptional acoustic effectiveness. Its felt surface is designed to absorb higher frequencies – both direct sound waves from below and reflected sound waves from the ceiling. The cavities between the curved layers trap lower-frequency sound waves, creating harmonious, balanced room acoustics that perfectly combine aesthetics and function.

As a modular system with or without integrated lighting, SOUNDCATCHER allows the creation of ceiling panels of different sizes for spatial zoning. The wide range of different shapes and colours allows for maximum design freedom when creating small and large-scale ceiling patterns.

SOUNDCATCHER acoustic elements create a sustainably quiet and harmonised work environment. The acoustic elements consist of an innovative and high-quality synthetic fleece made from at least 50% post-consumer recycled PET felt and precisely moulded by our local partner. This makes our elements both highly effective and a resource-efficient and choice.

Carefully selecting colours is crucial to creating a harmonious interior design that perfectly marries architecture and aesthetics. That‘s why SOUNDCATCHER acoustic luminaires are available in neutral tones that blend harmoniously into any environment.
