Typhonics SP-Tiles Are Sound Killers That Look Like Wall Speakers
Want to sound-proof your home theater to spare the neighbors from your 24/7 speed metal marathon, but can’t stand those ugly acoustic tiles like they use in music studios?

Specs sheet lists the frequency response at 0 Hz to 300,000 Hz and range at 0 to 2.5 megahertz. The numbers are so far beyond what any human ear can make out that it [...]
