In rooms with unsatisfactory auditory comfort, materials can be added to reduce the reflection of sound energy. These materials can be wools shaped in the form of panels, baffles or clouds, and the type of mounting in relation to the reflective surface greatly impacts their sound absorption performance. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effect of row spacing in the sound absorption capacity of PET baffle arrangements. Sound absorption tests were performed in a reverberation room, testing PET wool baffles with a height of 50 cm and mounted in rows spaced 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm apart. The sound absorption results strongly correlate that the increase in row spacing in increments of 25 cm achieves considerable gains in sound absorption capacity of the baffles at each configuration starting from a spacing of 25 cm and up to 100 cm.
