The Acoustic Trio pendant is an innovative companion to the narrow, nominal 1.5-inch aperture Acoustic family, designed to combine advanced illumination with exceptional sound absorption. Offered with direct only, indirect only, or direct/indirect distributions—and even as an unlit acoustic pendant—it integrates seamlessly into architectural spaces while enhancing acoustic comfort. Engineered in a distinctive “Y” shape, the pendant is designed to trap sound from all directions, delivering up to 40% more absorption than a linear baffle of equal surface area. This makes it an effective solution for addressing high noise levels and reverberation issues in environments such as offices, educational institutions, hospitality, and healthcare facilities.
At the heart of its performance is patented AirCore® technology, an eco-friendly system that maximizes acoustic efficiency while reducing ecological impact. The housing is crafted from 100% polyester containing up to 50% recycled PET plastic bottles, offering a sustainable and moisture-resistant material that also meets stringent ASTM E-84 Class A and CAN ULC S102 fire safety standards. This combination ensures that the Acoustic Trio not only enhances visual and acoustic comfort but also aligns with green building goals.
Design flexibility is a key strength of this fixture. Available in 4-foot and 6-foot diameters with standard housing heights of 8, 12, or 16 inches, the Acoustic Trio can be specified as a stand-alone pendant, arranged in clusters for dramatic visual impact, or integrated into full ceiling systems with linear Acoustic luminaires and baffles. Vertical suspension details match the linear family, allowing for clean, coordinated layouts. Its narrow 1.5-inch aperture maintains a consistent design language across the system.
The luminaire is available in a wide range of aesthetic options to complement interior design. Acoustic housings can be specified in a broad palette of neutral tones or bold colors, while The Naturals collection introduces finishes inspired by organic materials for biophilic design integration. These finishes bring warmth, texture, and natural beauty into spaces while supporting contemporary wellness-driven environments.
Performance has been optimized through a proprietary linear LED system with premium diodes mounted on a robust thermal platform. The optical system employs frosted extruded acrylic lenses to deliver seamless lines of light with no visible pixels or shadows, ensuring both visual comfort and high performance. Reflectors fabricated from 22-gauge steel with a matte white finish further enhance efficiency and uniformity. Available in 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K with both 80 and 90 CRI, the luminaire maintains color consistency within three SDCM. Longevity is assured, with reported L70 performance exceeding 61,000 hours and calculated results reaching 470,000 hours. L90 metrics surpass 115,000 hours, ensuring long service life.
Control options support a range of modern dimming protocols, including 0–10V (down to 10% or 1%), DALI, and Lutron Hi-Lume EcoSystem. Fixtures are factory pre-wired with branch circuit wiring and over-molded quick connects to simplify installation. Universal 120–277V drivers are standard, and all drivers are field-replaceable from above. The pendant can be specified with single or dual circuits, providing further flexibility in lighting design.
The Acoustic Trio also prioritizes safety and practicality. It is UL and cUL listed for dry locations and indoor use only, with a polyester powder coat canopy in white as standard, and optional black or titanium silver finishes. Mounting kits ship with orders, including cable suspensions in lengths from 24 to 120 inches, and the power cord—white as standard—is provided 18 inches longer than the suspension length for installation ease. Weight varies by configuration, with a 4-foot diameter at 12 inches in height weighing 17.5 lbs, and a 6-foot diameter at the same height weighing 26.3 lbs.
Ultimately, the Acoustic Trio pendant delivers a distinctive blend of illumination, sound absorption, and design versatility. Whether used individually, clustered for dramatic effect, or integrated into larger ceiling systems, it offers architects and designers a powerful tool to create spaces that are both acoustically comfortable and visually striking. Its eco-conscious materials, broad design palette, and robust technical performance make it a forward-thinking solution for contemporary interiors.
