Interfering reflections can be controlled by absorption or diffusion. In small rooms, it is often desirable to control interfering reflections and provide an ambient sound field using diffusion instead of absorption. When the room’s surfaces are relatively close to the listener, a very efficient diffusing surface is needed. To solve this problem, RPG® patented the Skyline®. It is the industry’s first — and most efficient — omnidirectional primitive root number theory two dimensional diffusor. The Skyline® LP has been designed to offer efficient scattering in situations where available wall depth is limited.  In 4” maximum depth the Skyline® LP scatters incident sound uniformly so that the acoustic glare in all directions is minimized.  No other diffuser on the market can claim equal performance at this depth.

Problem
Small rooms like Project Studios need a very efficient surface to diffuse interfering rear wall reflections and provide a diffuse sound field.  Available wall depth is often limited due to smaller room sizes, equipment locations and other furnishings.

Solution
To solve this problem, RPG® utilized advanced primitive root number theory to design the most powerful and aesthetic two dimensional omnidirectional Low Profile diffusing surface in the acoustical industry.

Absorption

The solid expanded polystyrene core of the Skyline® LP provides useful low frequency absorption.


Installation
The Skyline® LP is very easy to install on walls or ceilings using the supplied hook and loop fasteners.  Apply both sides of the hook and loop fastener to the rear of the Skyline® LP in each corner on a flat area. Remove the protective paper from the exposed side and apply to the wall.  For permanent mounting, construction adhesive must also be applied, where space allows on the back of the unit, along with the hook and loop fasteners. The Skyline® LP can also be inserted into a T-bar ceiling grid.

WARNING:
The Skyline® LP is fabricated from flame- retardant, high- density expanded polystyrene foam. It is the nature of this material to have rough surface imperfections and contain steam vent holes. Some of these imperfections can be partially concealed by a factory paint process. If you are interested in a painted product, RPG® offers a painted version in Duron Multispec Fine Fleck paint. RPG® does not recommend that the Skyline® LP be painted in the field and assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from field painting.
