RPG effusor Newsletter - April 2007

Greetings from RPG
April 22nd is Earth Day. RPG is proud to be a member of the USGBC. We encourage everyone to do their part in preserving this precious planet, through conservation and sustainable design. Thanks to your specifications, RPG continues to grow. We recently added an additional 4,000 sf to our manufacturing facility and are adding more project managers to service the growing demand for our products and services. Please join us for our annual Acoustician's Only Seminar on June 22, 2007 and also please accept my invitation to visit RPG, at our expense, for a Day with Dr. D. If you miss an effusor edition, all previous issues are now on line.

Product Profile: BAD Expo Metalik
The BAD Panel represents the first, highest performance, two-dimensional, planar diffsorber. Fabric wrapped BAD Panels have revolutionized the treatment of rooms and now this technology is available with an exposed flat or curved metal template as the BAD Expo Metalik. For more information download the new brochure Expose The Hole Truth!.

Did You Know?
The demand for absorptive, perforated or grooved wood is skyrocketing. RPG offers the widest selection in the industry and the range is growing. RPG is your prime source for complex ceiling and wall projects, as well as simple plank installations. To meet the demand for faster delivery times, RPG in partnership with n'H Akustik + Design, is offering a new program called Topakustik EASY. The program includes two formats 14/2 and 29/3, in maple or beech melamine and painted finishes. Delivery times are 4-6 weeks.

Clearsorber Sheet
Clearsorber Sheet is a highly absorptive, microperforated, polycarbonate sheet, 1.5 mm (0.06") thick, with 0.5 mm diameter holes spaced 5 mm x 5 mm apart. The 1.5 mm sheet is 0.375 psf. Standard size is 98.43" x 49.21". The Clearsorber Sheet is rigid, yet flexible enough to be slightly bent into a concave shape to provide high frequency scattering. Learn more about mounting options in the new brochure The Future is Clear!

New SIAP Demo White Paper
The photo shows RPG's seminar room equipped with a new SIAP Mark IV 32 output installation. The seminar room seats about 25 and is used regularly for educational seminars and CATT Acoustic headphone auralization demonstrations. In the photo, one can see the four KM185 Neumann microphones. There are 32 Frazier C399 loudspeakers mounted in ceiling baffles covered with gray fabric. Live music and speech can be auditioned, as well as processed and unprocessed anechoic recordings, using the processed and unprocessed line inputs. The loudspeakers are powered by 4 QSC CX168 8-channel amplifiers. RPG will sponsor training sessions at our facility throughout 2007, so call for an appointment and stay tuned! For more information, you can download the RPG SIAP Demo Room white paper.
