Drapery Materials and Fabrics

ECHO VELOUR
Echovelour is 47" wide, made by combining flameretarded cotton velour with a polyvinylidene backing. It is a sound reflective, light absorbing fabric which is designed to maximize the sound energy projected from the stage to the auditorium while retaining the look of traditional stage velour. Echovelour is 12 times more sound reflective than standard cotton velour. Echovelour has a NRC absorption coefficient of .05 when tested in accordance with ASTM C 423 and E 795. Compared to cotton velours which have an NRC of .6, Echovelour dramatically increases the sound energy reflected to the audience. At 500 through 1000 hz, it has a .98 coefficient of reflection as measured by DIN 52 212.
