1 acoustex 2018 the sound of innovation Trade Show for Noise Control and Sound Design October 2018 Messe Dortmund Germany

2 Acoustic Excellence Meets Tomorrow s Demand It Always Starts with a Vision. The progress of scientific findings and technologies has also resulted in greater expectations of society in respect of the environment. For example, not only acoustically effective buildings and rooms, low-vibration and nice-sounding products but also low-noise means of transport and traffic routes are in high demand. acoustex now exactly fulfils these needs and exciting challenges in the noise control and sound design areas. It thus fills an obvious gap and offers all involved experts an annual communication platform. Furthermore, the acoustex trade fair is an important meeting place for future buyers and consumers due to its market offer from the application areas of architecture, industry and traffic and due to the wide range of acoustically effective products and solutions. The acoustex trade show offers three distinct topics that allow easy orientation. Visitors searching for solutions in their specific segment of interest or in other segments will immediately find what they are looking for.

Crossovers wanted! Do you primarily sell your products in a certain vertical industry sector?

However, that is where acoustic issues only play a subordinate role because of the large number of offered topics and solutions.

The acoustex trade show therefore focuses on the horizontal marketing approach, i.e. both noise control and sound design are the first and foremost flagship topics.

3 Crossovers wanted! Do you primarily sell your products in a certain vertical industry sector? In that case, you probably already exhibit at the flagship trade show of the respective industry. However, that is where acoustic issues only play a subordinate role because of the large number of offered topics and solutions. It will therefore be difficult to reach customers in a targeted and definite way there. The acoustex trade show therefore focuses on the horizontal marketing approach, i.e. both noise control and sound design are the first and foremost flagship topics. All vendors and customers of the sector segments of architecture, industry and traffic are represented under this umbrella. Conclusion: Unconventional thinking creates new fields of application and hence new groups of customers!

5 Architecture Building & Interior Building and room acoustics in harmony with architecture that is a requirement not only architects and interior planners but also building contractors, fitters and interior and property designers are increasingly faced with. The number of builderowners and clients who attach great importance to building or room acoustics is continuously increasing because the value of a building or a room is no longer exclusively determined by its look it must also offer adequate acoustic qualities and functions to suit its intended use. The Architecture (Building & Interior) topic therefore focuses on products and services that have a positive acoustic effect on buildings and rooms through sound reduction or special acoustic design. Such include: Wall, ceiling and floor covering with highly effective acoustic properties Soundproof windows, doors and insulation Sound-absorbing furniture, lighting and pictures Mobile room solutions Noise cancellation and sound design technologies The Architecture (Building & Interior) area is characterised by a wide range of manufacturers and services. Experts involved in the planning and creation of acoustically effective buildings and rooms will also be there.

Industry Materials, Equipment & Production What is required for a pleasant soundscape and the resulting increased productivity and wellbeing?

They need innovative and state-of-the-art materials, instruments, measuring devices, test rigs and software applications for a successful solution.

They move the disturbing noise out of the human hearing range or influence the noise and its frequencies in such a way that it is no longer perceived as disturbing but instead as pleasant.

6 Industry Materials, Equipment & Production What is required for a pleasant soundscape and the resulting increased productivity and wellbeing? Engineers deal with that question as part of their R&D work in noise control and sound design. They need innovative and state-of-the-art materials, instruments, measuring devices, test rigs and software applications for a successful solution. With those aids, they find a remedy for loud, vibrating, rattling, and simply stressful product noise and ambient noise. They move the disturbing noise out of the human hearing range or influence the noise and its frequencies in such a way that it is no longer perceived as disturbing but instead as pleasant. The Industry (Materials, Equipment & Production) topic impressively shows how manufacturing and industrial workplaces can be designed to regain a pleasant work climate for greater efficiency of the people working here. The presented products and services include, for example: Fleece, fabrics and textiles Measuring instruments and devices Test rigs Acoustic booths Vibration damping /Structure-borne noise reduction Software solutions Literature and trade magazines Science and further training Associations The Industry (Materials, Equipment & Production) area delivers solutions and answers to support R&D and production processes with the most innovative materials and equipment.

Traffic Vehicles & Transit The economy is booming and so is the traffic: Whether by road, rail, water or air, traffic has a large impact on our society s life in these fast-moving times.

Their endeavours in this direction are driven by statutory limit values and the customers desires for quieter and hence more pleasant mobility.

As part of the Traffic (Vehicles & Transit) topic, the supplier industry will show how acoustic physics can be outmanoeuvred.

7 Traffic Vehicles & Transit The economy is booming and so is the traffic: Whether by road, rail, water or air, traffic has a large impact on our society s life in these fast-moving times. As a result, manufacturers of means of transport, developers and planners of traffic routes must take into account that public attention increasingly focuses on the reduction of noise emission. Their endeavours in this direction are driven by statutory limit values and the customers desires for quieter and hence more pleasant mobility. Their aim is to achieve more quality of life both in the vehicle and on and along the infrastructures used by transport. As part of the Traffic (Vehicles & Transit) topic, the supplier industry will show how acoustic physics can be outmanoeuvred. Which solutions and technologies are available to promote a quieter or simply nicer-sounding environment? That is exactly what it is about: To ensure that people find travelling pleasant and relaxing again and can pleasantly live in the vicinity of traffic routes and means of transport with a low noise emission level. The following possibilities are on offer: Vibration damping / Structure-borne noise reduction for traffic Noise barriers for road and rail Silencers / Sound absorbers Noise cancellation technologies Sound design for vehicles The Traffic (Vehicles & Transit) area will show what is technologically possible and feasible today, and will be in the future, to sustainably promote a positive co-existence between the environment and traffic.
