RPG effusor Newsletter - June 2008

RPG Continually Evolving
As part of our year long 25th Anniversary Celebration, we will be announcing significant new technology and products. RPG is proud to announce that it has been appointed the North American distributor for the Deamp Microslit to expand the RPG Clearsorber line of microperforated light transmitting absorbers that are fiber-free and do not require any porous absorption. Deamp Microslit is suitable for all markets including hospitality, health care and transportation facilities. The image shows three finish options of frosted, translucent and clear. Panels are available in acrylic, PETG and recycled PETG. Deamp Microslit is manufactured in the US and custom sizes and slit patterns are available. For more information, please download the Clearsorber brochure and the Deamp Microslit brochure.

Introducing the CDM-ISO-QRW and CDM-ISO-QRC
The CDM-ISO-QRW resilient wall ties attach directly to steel or wood studs to isolate drywall, which is attached to standard hat channels. The two mounting screws insert into openings in two specially designed hinged legs, which incorporate a mechanical stop when the optimal precompression is applied to the elastomer (green), thereby providing the lowest possible resonant frequency. The lower the resonant frequency, the greater the isolation efficiency. The hinged design allows the hat channel to be securely and safely captured and easily inserted preventing any distortion. The CDM-ISO-QRC is a similar design with an optimized color coded elastomer (tan) for the different ceiling loading condition. The bottom photo shows the resilient tie connected to a hat channel. Please contact Tom Ryan, Director of RPG's Noise and Vibration Division, for more information. We also invite you to visit our website and download the RPG-CDM Room Isolation System brochure.

RPG Overture Acoustical Towers and Canopies
satisfy the needs of the architect, the theater consultant, the acoustician and the musician. Overture is available in fully rigged and rollable options. Fully rigged towers and canopies are available with or without a computer controlled electronic hoist system. Pictured is the First Baptist Church, Eugene, Oregon designed by Steve Diamond, AGI, Inc. Towers are rollable and the canopy is rigged with a computer operated electric hoist system. We also invite you to download the Overture brochure.

XM Satellite Live Sound Stage
RPG is proud to have provided products for both XM Satellite and Sirius Radio facilities. Pictured is a custom glass Diviewsor at XM Satellite, designed by Studios Architecture, Washington, DC, providing visibility into the live sound stage and a custom designed Waveform Spline wall treatment in shades of blue. RPG offers custom Diviewsors for many applications, please call for details. For more information, please download the Reflection Phase Gratings brochure.

RPG Products Featured at Buffalo Academy
The Performing Art Center is designed to accommodate a range of performance types. Since a static acoustic system would not satisfy this demand for flexibility, the space is outfitted with a “Tunable Biffusor Acoustic System” by RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc. including panels on the side wall that rotate and adjust the reverberation time of the space from 1.1 to 1.3 seconds, a digital sound system, and wave dispersal ceiling system. The stage transforms to accommodate the needs of dance, theater and orchestra. The project was designed by Cannon Design, Grand Island, NY.
