RPG BAD Arc

The BAD™ Arc is the acoustic industry’s first digital, curved, sound diffuser. It consists of absorptive and reflective areas optimally positioned according to a 2-dimensional binary sequence, where “zero” represents absorption and “one” represents reflection. The resulting binary amplitude grating offers diffusion above 1 kHz and transitions to absorption below. The curve featured by the BAD™ Arc further increases the ‘specular’ (or first reflection) performance of the binary amplitude grating, expanding both the diffusion and absorption capabilities. Thus, the BAD™ Arc offers a high performance hybrid surface with the aesthetic of a traditional fabric wrapped panel.
