Taking its name from the large monolithic stones which it resembles, Menhir is a practical and clean solution in terms of its form; its adaptability makes it an excellent removable sound-absorbing element for low frequencies. Perfect for large environments where speech reverberation can cause confusion and chaos, Menhir can relate to the environment, adapting to various requirements. The shorter version also comes with a cover that can serve as a shelf for resting magazines, plants or various types of furniture objects.
Materials
Efficient acoustic absorption, duration, safety: the Menhir sound-absorbing totems have been devised and designed to guarantee optimal sound absorption, thanks to materials chosen with particular care.

Dimensions
Menhir sound-absorbing totems are available in 2 standard sizes, either 1 or 2 metres. Thanks to their shape, they are practical and manoeuvrable. They can be easily moved from one room to another depending on the acoustic requirements at the time. Furthermore, thanks to their thickness, they have a high sound absorption capacity.
