Return Noise Shield

The VAW Systems Return Noise Shield (RNS) is an efficient, cost-effective solution that delivers valuable sound isolation among adjacent and nearby spaces that share a common ceiling plenum. With a simple, quick installation the RNS provides noticeable speech privacy improvements. The RNS is also effective at reducing mechanical system noise, such as a nearby (open return) air handling unit over a ceiling plenum. With a very low pressure drop, the acoustic benefits may be ideal for occupant privacy and comfort.
