Our Products

MBI pioneered the original Cloud-Lite® Acoustical Baffle over 45 years ago, and today offers the most complete line of acoustical baffles.

Cloud-Lite Baffles are designed to solve acoustical problems in any large cubic volume space such as arenas, gymnasiums, natatoriums, theaters, restaurants, offices, corridors, kennels, and industrial buildings for OSHA compliance.

Cloud-Lite Baffles are easily suspended from ceilings, bar joists, horizontally stretched cable, or pre-engineered suspension systems. Cloud-Lite Baffles can be arranged to create different architectural effects, depending on the desired end use of the space, and integrate exceptionally well with existing lighting and HVAC systems.

These highly-effective acoustical products are Class A, lightweight, cost-efficient, and easy to install, making them the industry's most practical solution to noise control.

The MBI Spectrum Panels are ideal for ceiling spaces that have electrical, mechanical and fire suppression systems close to the deck.

MBI Spectrum Panels are installed directly to the roof deck. They provide excellent absorption when Cloud-Lite Baffles and Lapendary Panels are not a practical solution.

The MBI Spectrum Panel is constructed of a semi-rigid Ecose Greenguard core that is self-supporting and will not sag over time. It can be covered in acoustically transparent PVC film, sailcloth or any variety of fabrics.

Lapendary Panels are large, unique acoustical banners hung in a loose catenary fashion or installed flush to the roof deck for a flat appearance with minimum festoon. The original Lapendary Panel was developed in 1987 by MBI in response to the growing demand for proper acoustics in today's larger indoor venues. Arenas and other multi-purpose facilities require a sound environment conducive to both athletic events and musical performances.

Lapendary Panels reduce reverberation time and sound intensity levels in harsh acoustical environments. This results in increased speech intelligibility, better communication and improved quality of sound systems, allowing your venue to become a multi-functional space.

The effectiveness and success of the Lapendary Panel can be seen in any of the 120+ arenas that chose world class acoustics from MBI Products Company.

Ceiling heat is the largest contributor of heat loads in an ice rink. Reducing radiant ceiling heat cuts down on ceiling condensation and drip and decreases the energy usage required for refrigeration.

The MBI Low-E Lapendary Panel, reduces radiant heat energy, achieves an R-13 insulation value and gives a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.80. With substantially greater energy efficiency, the Low E Lapendary Panel greatly lowers the facility’s operating costs while improving overall ice quality and acoustically correcting the space, creating an ideal venue for athletic events.  In addition, the Low E facing improves lighting levels and appearance, making for an even more enjoyable experience.

MBI Weather Resistant Exterior Acoustical Panels are intended for outdoor applications such as amphitheaters, pavilions, amusement facilities, noise enclosures, and transportation noise barriers.

Sound traveling at 730 miles per hour will reflect and ricochet off hard surfaces producing excessive reverberation (echo) within the space. Extensive testing has shown that MBI Weather Resistant Exterior Panels reduce reverberation times by 1/2 to 5 seconds and sound intensity levels 2 to 12 decibels.

Made with durable Cypress exterior fabric, these panels will withstand the elements and the effects of excessive temperature changes.

These highly effective acoustical products are Class "A", lightweight, cost efficient, and easy to install.

The Mirage Wall and Ceiling Panels from MBI has a specialized Xaylon facing that can be custom-designed using any digital file. This makes it possible to replicate the look of real wood, tin ceiling tiles, natural surfaces such as marble or granite, or your own original graphic artwork. This solid custom facing allows sound to be absorbed into the core, resulting in a panel that provides essential acoustical properties with a high-end appearance. No perforations on the facing are necessary. This semi-rigid, lightweight panel will never sag and will maintain a flat, smooth appearance. A custom ceiling grid is also available for a seamless, consistent appearance.

Masquerade is custom printed panel that comes in any size to cover up areas that are either visually unappealing or in need of an artistic upgrade. It is acoustically transparent, so it will not interfere with existing sound control. The Masquerade panel system is suspended by a tensioned cable and grommet support system, which allows great flexibility in treating small areas, such as the walls of your Natatorium or Gymnasium, or very large areas like the open spaces in Arenas. Applications for the Masquerade panel system are endless, ranging from general advertising to promotion of stars or events, to creative interior designs.

The MBI Bandit Panel is specifically engineered to solve low-frequency acoustical problems often found in places of worship—such as churches, temples and mosques. The unique design of the MBI Bandit Panel allows it to absorb sound at the hard-to-reach low frequencies that other acoustical products cannot. The sound engineer can alleviate many acoustical problems by incorporating the MBI Bandit Panel in the initial design of the acoustical wall system. The Bandit Panel is installed between the studs on either 16” or 24” centers, then an acoustically transparent face is used as the decorative finish, eliminating the need for drywall. This design significantly reduces costs and enhances the design and performance of the space. Like many of our products, the MBI Bandit Panel system was designed in collaboration with a leading acoustical consultant.

Diffusers improve the sound in a room by absorbing unwanted sounds and reflecting the remaining sounds. The end result is a listening environment that is ideal for instrumental performances or any type of presentation where slight reverberation is complimentary to the overall sound. Both barrel and pyramidal diffusers are available in a number of sizes and are simple to install.

MBI Diffusers are constructed of thermoformed fire resistant plastic that is molded into either a barrel shape or an offset pyramidal shape. Crisp, finished edges and corners can be achieved by applying fabric directly to the face. Additionally, sound absorption can be improved by adding an inner layer of 1-1-2” thick fiberglass batts.

MBI Diffusers are available in a textured white gel coat surface that can also be covered with fabric for a finished look. Barrel diffusers normally have faceted ends. All sizes of barrel diffusers can be specified with long dimension facets.
