In many rooms, flat reflective surfaces can cause interfering reflections and excessive reverberation, which can corrupt music quality, speech intelligibility, and comfort. One traditional approach to controlling the reflections and excess reverberation is to utilize absorptive panels, which consist of a porous absorbing core, typically fiberglass, polyester, mineral wool or foam, covered with fabric or perforated vinyl. In addition to our more advanced BAD Panels, RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc. also offers traditional fabric wrapped panels in a wide range of thicknesses.

Problem
Rooms with flat, untreated reflective drywall or plaster surfaces, generate strong specular reflections and long reverberation times and levels, which interfere with speech intelligibility and music quality. In these room there is often a limit on the depth of surface treatment and the budget.

Solution
A traditional solution to control room reflections and excessive reverberation has been the use of fabric wrapped fiberglass panels. While this solution is dated and has been greatly improved upon, it is still employed as a stop gap measure when the budget for acoustical treatment is limited. RPG also offers a high impact panel option, which adds a 1/8”, 20 pcf surface layer that provides impact resistance and also tackability.

Absorption
The graph shows the typical increase in absorption efficiency as a function of thickness for an A (surface) mounting. Additional low frequency absorption can be obtained by mounting the panel away from the boundary surface.

Installation For fixed wall mounting, simply secure the ImpaleIt™ clip to a surface, with screws or with a hook and loop fastener. Make a mark at the desired height of the panel and 1” above that for alignment. Line up the panel with the higher mark and gently pierce the back of the panel with the triangular prongs. Then press firmly into the ImpaleIt™ clip and press downward until the panel settles against the wall at the desired height.

For removable wall mounting, simply attach a “Z” channel to the surface and hang the ImpaleIt™ clip on the channel. Make a mark at the desired height and 1” above that for alignment. Align the panel at the mark 1” above the desired height and gently pierce the back of the panel with the triangular prongs. Then firmly press the panel into the ImpaleIt™ clip, allowing it to pierce the rear of the panel and push downward until the panel settles against the wall at the desired height.
