Kinetics Noise Control Inc., a Catalyst Acoustics Group company, has introduced MetaWrx, a new class of isolator designed by engineers at HyperDamping Inc. and offered exclusively by Kinetics. MetaWrx’s design leverages principles of structural engineering to convert the applied transverse loads to lateral bending and stretching of the beam network, thus maximizing damping for enhanced transmission loss and minimal residual vibration on the surface of the applied load. MetaWrx is suitable when transmitted noise and reflected vibration must be suppressed. This is of utmost importance in fitness facilities, dance studios, performing spaces and other facilities, using lightweight low-profile floor build-ups. Because MetaWrx pulls more performance out of the bulk material via a patented design philosophy, it is suited for spaces that otherwise struggle to meet isolation metrics with conventional polymer isolators or spring suspensions. With its thin design, it is a good match for low-profile floor build-ups that need to satisfy strict space requirements for installation.
