What is the N10 value?

N10 is a reference value used to assess the effectiveness of standalone absorbers. It indicates how many units of a given product are required to achieve an absorption area of 10 m² Sabine.

How do you interpret the value?
Low N10 value = high absorption
High N10 value = lower absorption

If you choose a product with an N10 value of 15, 15 units of the product in the given size will be needed to provide 10 m² Sabine of speech-relevant absorption area, whereas a product with an N10 value of 1 would only require a single unit of the product.
