DIFFUSER
The Acoustics First ArtDiffusor Trim is a versatile building material that allows numerous options for modifying a room’s acoustics. A high-frequency quadratic diffuser by design, both profiles offer diffusion in similar ranges, while allowing for opportunities to drastically change the aesthetic. The different profiles can be used individually or together to vary the look and acheive the desired performance. Additionally, ArtDiffusor Trim can be installed with an air gap behind them, on top of panels, and with varied spacing to create slot absorbers for low frequency control in addition to the high frequency diffusion. Planks can come in maple or other various woods, finished and stained, or raw for a custom look. The standard size of a plank is about 1”x4”x48”, however, longer planks can be provided if required.

ABSORBER
Auralex Acoustics’ new Deep6 low-frequency absorber, a 2’x4’x6” powder- coated, black steel frame-enclosed absorption device is specifically designed to be installed on a wall or across a vertical corner to improve low-frequency absorption throughout the room and accuracy at the mix position, but without the sonic artifacts of competing products. This acoustical treatment is well-suited for rooms where corner-fitted bass traps are not possible due to doors or windows, and provides usable broadband control down to 40Hz. It is Class A fire rated for commercial and residential applications. It complements a wide range of acoustical products and turns mid-high absorbers into a complete broadband system. It’s available in sandstone and obsidian fabric colors, and comes fully assembled and ready to install with the included wall-mounting brackets. Additional corner mounting brackets are available.
