What Mila-Wall Acoustic achieves
Mila-Wall Acoustic reduces reverberation and improves speech intelligibility. Conversations become more relaxed, groups disturb each other less and guided tours remain understandable. The surface remains smooth and seamless, with no visible technology. Results were determined in collaboration with Fraunhofer IBP. See for yourself with the following example!

Audited result
The wall modules were developed and tested in collaboration with Fraunhofer IBP. Measurements in an anechoic chamber show a significant reduction in reverberation times and sound pressure levels compared to conventional walls. The diagrams on this page illustrate the difference.
Award-winning design
Mila-Wall Acoustic combines acoustic performance with a calm, high-quality surface. The design was named an industry trend by architecture magazine AIT and received the German Design Award from the German Design Council.
Areas of application
Museums, exhibitions, galleries, trade fair construction and events benefit from less reverberation and clearer intelligibility. Examples of applications include video boxes, quiet rooms and areas with parallel programme items.
The acoustic wall uses the frame from the Mila-Wall Series 100. The materials and internal structure are designed for maximum sound absorption and noticeably improve room acoustics.
From the outside, only a structure of micro-fine openings is visible. Inside, an acoustically optimised layer structure ensures high sound absorption and noticeably improves room acoustics.
How Mila-Wall Acoustic improves room acoustics
Mila-Wall Acoustic noticeably improves room acoustics. The sound-absorbing partition reduces reverberation, increases speech intelligibility and maintains the calm appearance of the Mila-Wall surface. The effect is achieved through three acoustic principles that work together depending on the situation.
Absorb
Absorb can best be explained as soaking up or swallowing. Smooth surfaces normally reflect sound. The Mila-Wall Acoustic acoustic wall absorbs a large proportion of the incident sound energy and converts it into heat inside. This is achieved by a specially coordinated layer structure. The exact design remains the know-how of the designers.
Screening
Screening works like an umbrella. The direct sound path between the source and the listener is interrupted, so that less sound arrives. The wall dampens the propagation and reduces interference in neighbouring zones. In planning, this allows islands, video stations or conversation areas to be neatly separated from each other.
Masking
Masking means that a neutral, broadband noise covers up disturbing noises. This makes the ear less sensitive to the disturbing noise. Masking can be useful in certain situations at exhibitions and events, for example at media stations. However, the main effect of Mila-Wall Acoustic is achieved through absorption and shielding.
Impressive sound absorption
The Mila-Wall Acoustic acoustic wall was developed in close collaboration with the renowned Fraunhofer IBP. Measurements in a free-field room show a noticeable reduction in reverberation and improved speech intelligibility while maintaining a calm appearance.
Video box
The video box is made of Mila-Wall Acoustic. Inside, it produces clear sound reproduction with significantly less reverberation. Noticeably less sound escapes to the outside, as absorption and shielding work together. The environment remains quieter, and conversations and guided tours next door are less disruptive.
Live test of the Mila-Wall Acoustic acoustic wall
At the Stratford Circus Arts Centre in London, the International Gospel Choir London tested Mila-Wall Acoustic's sound-absorbing wall modules. The result was significantly less reverberation, clearer voices and a quieter environment, even outside the area. The effect depends on the room and the installation.
Nature experience in the museum
A special exhibition at the Cultural History Museum in Rostock utilised Mila-Wall Acoustic. The sound-absorbing wall modules significantly reduced the natural reverberation in the room, allowing the soundscape of birdsong to be heard clearly and intimately. Visitors experienced the room as if they were in the great outdoors, while the presentation areas remained calm and precise.
Chill out with Mila-wall Acoustic
In this compilation, you can see the construction of a chill-out room designed by MBA at BOE International in Dortmund. The relaxation room has sound-absorbing surfaces on the inside and can be implemented in various sizes and individually designed in terms of interior design. Constructed with Mila-wall wall modules from the Acoustic series, it creates the perfect retreat in no time at all, whether in the hustle and bustle of a trade fair, an event or even in an open-plan office.
Less sound. Less echo.
These exhibition rooms of the Hilm-Böckmann retrospective at the LWL Museum of Archaeology in Herne were the basis for an impressive demonstration of reverberation reduction using acoustic walls from the Mila-wall Acoustic series.
Remarkable reverberation reduction
In a simulation conducted by Fraunhofer IBP, the construction of these exhibition rooms using conventional partition walls was compared with Mila-wall Acoustic. The results speak for themselves:
