Wenger Acoustic Shield – Adjustable Polycarbonate Sound Shield

The Wenger Acoustic Shield is a portable, height-adjustable sound shield designed to protect musicians from excessive sound levels on stage and in rehearsal. Positioned just behind the player’s head, it helps reduce harmful sound energy from loud instruments behind them (trumpets, trombones, percussion, amplified backline), while the clear polycarbonate panel keeps sightlines open for conductors, colleagues and the audience.

The shield folds down flat, includes a built-in carrying handle and has a low-profile base that slides under most chairs, making it a practical solution for schools, youth ensembles, bands, orchestras and pit work.

Why Choose the Wenger Acoustic Shield?

Help protect players’ hearing on loud stages
Players seated in front of brass or percussion often face the highest sound levels. The Acoustic Shield is designed specifically for that situation, helping to reduce the initial wave of high-frequency sound reaching the ears while still letting them hear themselves and the ensemble.

Keeps communication and sightlines clear
Unlike opaque screens, the transparent polycarbonate panel is very unobtrusive. Musicians can still see the conductor, colleagues and audience, and conductors can maintain clear visual contact with the section.

Easy to position around different sections
The cantilever arm allows the shield to sit just behind the musician’s head without clashing with the chair. The height adjustment range makes it suitable for a wide range of players – from younger students through to adults – and for different chair heights in rehearsal rooms, schools and concert halls.

Practical for schools and venues
The base slides under most chairs and stacks neatly when folded, so multiple shields can be stored efficiently. The built-in handle makes it simple to move from store to stage, and the 5-year guarantee reflects its intended use in busy educational and professional environments.

Whether you’re kitting out a school band room, a conservatoire, a pit orchestra or a professional ensemble, the Wenger Acoustic Shield is a straightforward way to improve hearing protection on stage without disrupting the look or layout of your setup.
