Why 1950's type Speaker Grill Covers?
Old woven coated speaker grill covers look tired and just aren't versatile.

Example:
20 foot Band scrim used as a background and printed with event themed picture. Visually opaque, acoustically translucent.


The fabric was stretched over 2x4 stud frames to make curved walls which directed museum traffic into the exhibit.  The walls are translucent--allowing light & sound transmission, and allowing patrons to see movement, and hear sounds while creating a private exhibit space. ©Spike Wolff, 2004 used with permission

Example:
Fabric serpentine and cylindrical walls define space and create interest, while allowing sound transmission.


Here the scrim material is used for a projection surface in a fine art display.  The projection surface was used to allow patrons to see the exhibit both on the front and the back, while sound was not inhibited. ©Lance Austin Olsen, 2004 used with permission

"What was great was that the material gave the projected video an ethereal quality, like it was suspended in space, an added bonus was that the incredible textures of the material made some fascinating spill over images that added to the whole experience."-- Lance Austin Olsen

Sound gets through, while only the light you want gets through.
Why sacrifice beautiful sound or beautiful visuals?

Chameleon™ Acoustical Grill Cloth

One fabric solution unleashes your creativity because of its textural, special effects both visual and auditory for speaker systems or organ grilles.

  • Large- Wide enough for entire walls or to cover entire organ grills! Wider that 15 feet. Not just 36 or 72 inches.
  • Custom Color-14 standard colors. Custom colors are possible (additional charge).
  • Printable Grill Covers- Printing is available, easier and less expensive than you probably expect. This puts large printed scrims into the reach of bands and churches or home theaters.
  • Projection Capable Grill Cloth- You can front and rear project to create dynamic visual surfaces--that are still acoustically translucent grill cloth.
  • Special Effect- Full theatrical and event special effects are possible including silhouettes, projection, and reveal effects (making people and objects appear and disappear..

Solutions Chameleon™ Grill Cloth can provide:

If you are a professional sound designer or space designer, chances are that you face one of the following challenges:
  • A wall engineered for sound.

    Our translucent fabric walls can add space and add a sense of definition to space you have, while remaining reconfigurable as display needs change. It's a fabric architecture solution which creates walls without walls!--allowing you to simply hang a wall as easily as hanging a banner. The engineered fabric allows sound transmission for walls, organ lofts in churches or covering clusters of speakers in churches, auditoriums, sound studios and other interiors.


  • A grill cloth that is a projection screen

    Our translucent walls look like Japanese paper, but are a great projection surface. Excellent front projection and rear projection surface, while retaining acoustical translucency.


  • Special visual effects, while acoustically translucent

    "Solid" walls that have a translucent appearance and allow for special lighting effects with simple lighting changes. Lit props, signage behind the fabric sets mood. Gobo projections can add dynamic changes to the setting, while retaining acoustical transmissibility.


  • Large acoustically translucent fabric architecture structures

    Large fabric architecture structures add color to large spaces, and define areas. Chameleon ™   is non stretchable, and holds a geometric shape.


  • Extremely Large Speaker Grille Cover

    Organ covers, speakers of most sizes can be accommodated--even very large. This is far bigger than accoustone or other grill cloths.



  • Note: Fabric is not for outdoor use and is not color safe in moist conditions.

  • You need fast delivery of a custom product, and you know that nobody delivers even stock products that fast!

The 'Sound' Science Behind Chameleon™ Grill Cloth


  • All the sound you deserve:   Chameleon™ Grill Cloth has an extremely low amount of transmission loss which means a high transmission coefficient. The reason for this is its extremely low mass resulting in very little acoustic power lost in the medium.
  • Very little sound reflection:   Due to its low mass and fine structure, to a sound wave our grill cloth looks like near air. Reflections occur in proportion to the difference of the medium from air. Thus optically it might have one appearance but acoustically it’s nearly transparent.
  • Very little 'coloration' of sound:  Due to the above properties which exist uniformly across the audio frequency range, there is no strange cancellation or resonance conditions that exist to “color” the sound.

You should expect more, not less!

What if every design could look different? Don't sacrifice the sight to gain the sound you need. What if special effects were possible? Imagine a system that defines space effortlessly, while allowing perfect sound reproduction. Guaranteed!
  • Special Effects  Use a Chameleon™ or StudioCloth™ fabric system to look different for each display. Objects behind it to magically, dynamically appear and disappear depending on your lighting control. Your lighting allows the material to be opaque or translucent. Projection walls. Textural or Diffusion effects. StudioCloth™  has a softly mottled diffusion pattern, Chameleon™  has a more angular diffusion pattern--both have great sound transmissibility
  • Get Big Sizes  -- natural width of Chameleon™   is 15' 8". Order by-the-yard unfinished fabric, finished walls/panels.
