Invented Acoustic Tiles

The late Emile Berliner was the
inventor Of the acoustic cement CELL
Mr.. Berliner had studied hall acoustics
for years He observed that an audi.
forum that has wooden walls has su.
ppriOr acoustics. while the cause of
bad acoustics frequently is the riaidity
of walls. II was this theory lllat the
inventor developed in the acoustic
tiles. These are composed of porous
cement and yet have the resonance of
wood. They are the fruit of more
than 20 years of research.
