DIFFUSION
ABSORPTION
BASS TRAPPING
For general acoustical absorption, Auralex has chosen 1” SonoFiber for many reasons:
• Better overall broadband absorption/isolation
• Class A flame retardancy
• Resists Microbial Growth
• Ease of installation, no harsh particulates
Overall NRC = 0.75 - Absorption coefficients shown below:
Diffusion is an important element in critical listening environments, especially
Residential Theaters. It provides a scattering of high frequencies, minimizing flutter
echoes without making the room too dead.
The result is a more natural sound and enhanced stereo imaging. The ELiTE-CFS
uses the Auralex DST-R panels and other diffusors arranged in an array for efficient
diffusion of higher frequencies.
This important element is often absent from the majority of treatment systems.
Effective low frequency control is imperative in order to eliminate bass build-up and
keep the overall sound tight and accurate.
The ELiTE-CFS incorporates bass trapping at no extra charge. This is usually
achieved by using fiberglass, Sonofiber, or our Mega-LENRD Bass Traps in vertical
or horizontal corners.
