Center-mounted acoustical substrates

摘要

A modular wall with acoustic properties including one or more wall modules arranged in a desired configuration, and methods of forming the same. The wall module includes a frame configured to receive a plurality of wall elements, and a plurality of wall elements attached to the frame. An acoustic substrate is secured to the frame by a ladder or ladder frame including horizontal support members coordinated between retaining members configured for attachment to the frame or elements thereof. The frame and ladder or ladder frame can be used to sandwich one or more acoustic substrates therebetween. Exterior wall, finishing, and trim elements can be attached to the horizontal support members, frame or frame elements, and other wall elements for structural and/or aesthetic purposes.

1. An acoustic wall module, comprising:
a frame comprising one or more vertical brackets; and a plurality of wall elements configured for attachment to the frame, the plurality of wall elements comprising:
at least one acoustic substrate configured to inhibit sound from passing therethrough;at least one substrate retaining member attachable to the frame and being configured to secure the at least one acoustic substrate to the frame, the at least one acoustic substrate being positioned between the at least one substrate retaining member and a first portion of each of the one or more vertical brackets such that the at least one acoustic substrate is compressed between the frame and the at least one substrate retaining member;a outer element positioned between the at least one acoustic substrate and one or more of (a) the at least one substrate retaining member, and (b) the one or more vertical brackets to protect the at least one acoustic substrate;at least one horizontal support member attached to the frame; andat least one exterior wall element configured to conceal from view at least a portion of the frame from a first vantage point, the exterior wall element being attachable to the at least one horizontal support member to secure the exterior wall element to the frame.
