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

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.

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.
