RPG Abflector - Absorptive Panel

An internally hinged, upholstered absorptive panel that extends the low-frequency absorption efficiency of conventional flat panels. Delivered flat for economy, the Abflector installs as a splayed wedge with a variable depth air cavity. This mounting improves bass response, increases the angle of incidence and deflects high frequencies.

Interfering reflections from a critical listening room’s boundary surface corrupt the timbre and stereo imaging. Therefore, signal processing and image placement will not transfer accurately to other listening environments. The most effective way to minimize this form of acoustic distortion is to absorb the interfering reflections over a broad range of frequencies. This is especially important for small rooms like project studios, which need a more efficient surface to absorb first-order reflections over a broad range of frequencies than what is provided by thin, flat, surface-mounted porous fibreglass or foam panels.

Features and benefits:

• The internal hinge allows the Abflector to be mounted with a variable depth air cavity (VDAC).
• This method eliminates the expense of field-installed spacing systems for flat panels.
• The different-length panel segments form a visually interesting architectural splay, which adds elegance to the look of simple rectangular rooms.
• The Abflector forms a splayed sidewall surface, which increases the effective panel thickness and deflects interfering reflected sound away from the sweet spot.
• A wide range of fabric choices also complements the splay design.
• The lightweight panels can be applied to walls, ceilings, or used as a floor-standing panel.
• Easy to install with its attached hook and loop fasteners.
• Hardwood feet are available for floor-standing installation.
