Designed and developed by SoundAcoustics, the BA600/60’s unique multi- angled profle combines form with function, presenting a striking contemporary aesthetic, as well as providing outstanding acoustic absorption characteristics across a broad frequency range. All SoundAcoustics products are manufactured in Australia, with product testing taking place at the RMIT acoustic laboratory in Melbourne. The BA600/60 acoustic panel is also suitable for high-end studio applications in the recording and broadcast industries. The panels are manufactured as a nested pair, and are designed to be installed at 90 degrees to one another. The standard colour is dark grey. The panels can also be flock coated in a range of colors, at additional cost.

SoundBites are suitable for general acoustic control and critical listening applications.

The 6 x BT600-150 high performance bass traps deal effectively with the lows, the 8 x SA600/75 panels provide broad frequency absorption at the primary first reflection points, with the 4 x DP600/75 absorbing lower frequencies and diffusing high frequencies.

This is a suggested layout for the RK 2, providing a 'Live end - Dead end' type of treatment.

The RK3 has been designed for a 'Live end - Dead End' type acoustic treatment. The layout features floor to ceiling BA600/150 bass traps ( to 2.4 metre high) with 8 x SA600/75 broadband panels at the first reflection points and 4 x HA600/75 behind the monitors. The rear wall is treated with a solid grid of 8 x HA600/75 hybrid panels to diffuse high frequencies and absorb lower frequencies. To absorb ceiling reflections are 6 x BA600/60 Basotect white broadband panels. A simple high end solution.

An effective treatment for small rooms

Good starter kit for the small project studio, more suited to near field monitoring. The SA600/75 broadband panels are ideal for first reflection point on the side walls, with the BT270/600 pressure zone traps behind the monitors.

Diffusion and Absorption.
In many listening and music production environments, it is desirable that the acoustic treatment provides both absorption and diffusion. Reflected high frequencies give a room a sense of space and proportion, a necessary component of creating a pleasing acoustic environment. Diffusion softens harsh reflections, while allowing sound to dissipate in a more natural way than a straight absorber will. This also prevents unpleasant high frequency flutter, the result of reflections off a hard, flat surface.?Lower frequencies (below 300Hz) create additional acoustic problems related to the harmonic characteristics of a room.
Certain frequencies can appear louder and others quieter, creating listening accuracy issues in both the recording and reproduction of music.
Exhaustive development has resulted in an acoustic panel that provides the ideal blend of diffusion and absorption. The HA600/75 also perfectly complements the BT600/150 corner bass trap, providing a complete acoustic solution.

A perfect balance of absorption and diffusion.
Without the diffuser insert (see graph above) the HA600/75 functions as a quality broadband absorber, providing the performance expected of a 75mm thick panel. The ability of acoustic foam to absorb lower frequencies is directly related to thickness. With the diffuser insert installed, a smooth roll-off of high frequency absorption occurs above 400Hz, down to a flat absorption coefficient of 0.5 (50%) from 1 Khz to 5Khz and above. Above 400Hz the HA600/75 provides a controlled balance of absorption and diffusion.
At lower frequencies the diffuser insert has been designed to behave as a resonator panel, enhancing low frequency absorption, achieving a considerable 70% absorption at 160 Hertz (see graph above). Testing and evaluation takes place at the NATA accredited acoustic laboratory at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne.

Get creative!
The clear diffuser provides the perfect opportunity for customization. For that extra splash of colour insert a sheet of coloured cardboard (or similar) behind the diffuser. Posters also look great mounted behind the polycarbonate insert. An inexpensive way to create your own look, or match your existing decor.
The standard colour is charcoal grey but panels can be flock coated (suede fibre type finish) in a range of colours at additional cost.

Corner bass traps are an effective device for reducing low frequency reverb times. Otherwise known as pressure zone traps they are easily installed and removed. Our aim is to achieve similar reverb times across the frequency range as well as reduce peaks and troughs in the frequency characteristics of a room.The graph below demonstrates reverb times across the frequency spectrum in an untreated bedroom (4.2m x 3.6 m x 2.4m).

The room was then treated with 12 SA600/150 and 12 SA600/75 broadband panels. No bass trapping was installed. The panels were very effective reducing reverb times down to 125Hz but had little impact below 125Hz (See below graph). In fact, the lower frequency reverb times became longer. Bass trapping is an integral component of an acoustic room treatment in order to create a balanced listening environment.

Room corners are an excellent location for efficient application of acoustic treatment. In other word, corner installation gives you maximum 'bang for your buck' in regards to reducing reverberation times across the spectrum.

The uncoated FP600/60 panel can be installed behind fabric or canvas artwork, while maintaining a signifcant degree of acoustic absorption.Typically a canvas artwork will reflect some high frequencies, but mid to lower frequency absorption will remain generally unaffected.

The FP600/60 can also be flock colour coated (nylon fibre ) in a range of colours and installed as a design feature, providing a myriad of creative possibilities. Flock coating provides the panel with an attractive soft “suede like” finish. Please allow up to 14 days for flock coating.

Like all SoundAcoustics products the FP600/60 features the unique patented “Staple T” to allow simple installation with a staple gun as an alternative to adhesive.
The FP600/60 is manufactured in Australia from high density combustion modified polyurethane foam.

Designed and developed by SoundAcoustics, the BA600/60’s unique multi- angled profle combines form with function, presenting a striking contemporary aesthetic, as well as providing outstanding acoustic absorption characteristics across a broad frequency range. All SoundAcoustics products are manufactured in Australia, with product testing taking place at the RMIT acoustic laboratory in Melbourne. The BA600/60 is manufactured from Class 1 fire rated Willtec, and meets stringent building codes in regards to flammability and toxicity. Applications include media rooms, call centres, restaurants, nightclubs, conference rooms, auditoriums and live music venues, classrooms, music rooms, even manufacturing plants. The BA600/60 acoustic panel is also suitable for high-end studio applications in the recording and broadcast industries. The lightweight and flexible panels can be installed easily and simply with water based adhesive, without the need for reinforcement of walls or roof structures. Full ceiling coverage is not always required to achieve effective acoustic control. The panels can be applied in grids of four or six panels, which provides many installation options in regards to design considerations. Generally, ceiling coverage of at least 50% is recommended. The panels are manufactured as a nested pair, and are designed to be installed at 90 degrees to one another. The standard colour is light silver grey. The panels can also be flock coated in a range of colors, at additional cost.

The SA600/75 is a high efficiency broadband panel, absorbing effectively down to 200 Hz and below. The ability of acoustic foam to absorb lower frequencies is directly related to thickness, thus the SA600/75 is 75mm thick to improve performance in the critical 200 - 400 Hz range.
