RPG effusor Newsletter - March 2007

Basketball 1 Greetings from RPG
We hope you enjoy March Madness. "Fear the Turtle" and "Beware the Ides of March". Due to the growing number of RPG specifications by acousticians, we fortunately have our own form of madness in keeping up with all the wonderful orders. It is becoming increasingly well known by acousticians that RPG's growing CNC manufacturing and worldwide alliances offer the industry a complete palette of AcousticTools for all interior acoustic applications. Please stop by and visit us at NSCA in Orlando this March, where we will display our contractor range of products and demo the new SIAP MKIV Processor and software. There are still seats available 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 Woodgrain
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 template as the BAD Expo Woodgrain. For more information download the new brochure Expose The Hole Truth!.

Did You Know?
Over the past 24 years, RPG has introduced many acoustical innovations, but it has also improved on traditional acoustical products like pyramids, barrels, etc. In this issue, we highlight the fiber reinforced gypsum (GRG) traditional convex arc, available in 4'x4' or 2'x2' for wall or T-bar installation. The use of GRG, as opposed to thermoformed plastics insures the RPG Convex Arc is non-diaphragmatic and incombustible. All of this innovation at competitive pricing. So if you are not specifying RPG for traditional shapes, we invite you to see and hear the difference.

Clearsorber Foil
Clearsorber Foil is a highly absorptive, thin, microperforated, polycarbonate foil (Kaetaphon) 0.105 mm thick, with a surface weight of 0.03 lb/sf, with a B1 flame rating (DIN 4102). The hole diameter is 0.21 mm and the holes are spaced 2 mm x 2mm apart. It is available in a transparent, translucent or metallic print (light shade). 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.
