The patent-pending Ceiling Air Purifier (CAP) by Price is the perfect combination of performance, aesthetics and efficiency. Simply replacing a 2-by-2-foot ceiling tile, the CAP is a stand-alone unit that can easily be integrated into a space – without any modifications to the existing HVAC system – and is independent of all building controls. Multiple diffuser faces are available to seamlessly fit in with the design intent of the surrounding area. The unit is discreetly contained above the ceiling for quiet operation at any of the three adjustable motor speeds.

Controlling Unwanted Noise from the Source to the Receiver

An acoustic panel is one of many names that describe a modular component used to block or absorb noise where it’s unwanted. Also known as a double-walled panel, sandwich panel, insulated panel, thermal panel, double-walled ductwork or plenum wall, this engineered building element contains or reduces sound energy at different stages along the path that sound travels from the source to the receiver.
