fibreglass acoustic absorber

 
RPG Abfflector fabric covered fibreglass acoustic absorber
  • Interfering reflections from a critical listening room's boundary surfaces corrupt the timbre and stereo imaging. Therefore, signal processing and image placement will not transfer accurately to other listening environments.

  • The Abfflector extends the low frequency absorption efficiency of conventional flat absorptive panels. The Abfflector is a novel and economical internally hinged, upholstered absorptive panel. It ships flat, but mounts with most of the absorptive material away from the boundary surface for improved low frequency absorption.


Problem

Small rooms like Project Studios need a very efficient surface to absorb first order reflections over a broad range of frequencies. This is not possible with thin, flat, surface mounted porous fiberglass or foam panels.


Solution

The internally hinged Abfflector ships flat for economy, but installs as a splayed wedge with an air cavity behind. This unique mounting improves bass response, increases the angle of incidence and deflects high frequencies.

The Abfflector offers an variable airspace behind the panel which improves bass absorption. The Abfflector simulates the beneficial Reflection Free Zone effect, created by outwardly splaying side walls in a rectangular room. The graph illustrates how the Abfflector’s innovative hinged panel mounting exploits the advantages of the air cavity. Notice the significant increase in the low frequency absorption over that of a similar 1" thick flat panel, mounted directly to a boundary surface.

Installation

The Abfflector is easy to install with hook and loop fasteners, hanging rings or adhesive.

A 7ft high free-standing version can also be supplied. This is ideal for non-permanent applications and portable applications. Hardwood feet are available for this floor standing installation.

  
 
FEATURES
  • The unique internal hinge allows the Abfflector to be mounted with a Variable Depth Air Cavity. This method eliminates the expense of field installed spacing systems for flat panels
  • The different length panel segments form an elegant and visually interesting architectural splay.
  • A wide range of fabric choices also complements the unique splay design
  • The lightweight panels can be applied to walls, ceiling, or used as a floor standing panel
