Acoustical Materials



AURALEX PARTSCIENCE AUDIOTILE
Designed by Russ Berger for Auralex Acoustics, pArtScience AudioTile redefines the aesthetics of acoustical absorption. Tesselated forms present unlimited design possibilities for a sophisticated, custom appearance precisely tailored to the desired acoustical performance. Varying thickness built into each component delivers excellent broadband absorption, while the design patterns allow a unique means of blending absorption, diffusion and reflection for the optimum acoustic al balance. Auralex’s proprietary Studiofoam formula provides superior durability and Class-B flame retardancy. NAMM booth: #4295.

BAG END E-TRAP
Now in production, Bag End’s revolutionary, tunable electronic bass E-Trap is a first-of-its-kind electronic feedback control system incorporated in a powered subwoofer that creates the same dynamics as a passive bass trap. This is an active feedback coloration control solution that adds dampening to the low-frequency acoustic mode and smooths out the magnitude of frequency response in a room, thus eliminating the need for passive acoustic materials. Price: $998. NAMM booth: #4378.

RPG MODEX BROADBAND
Control rooms often exhibit poor low-frequency response with an emphasis at modal resonances. Porous surface absorption is ineffective because the air motion it requires is essentially zero when near room boundaries. The Modex™ Broadband was developed to offer broadband absorption effective from 50 to 5k Hz in a thickness of only four inches. Now you can absorb more bass in less space! Price: $999.
