Overview
The BAD Panel is the ultimate synergy of advanced acoustical technology and simplicity of design for when performance is paramount but budgets are modest. Using an optimal binary pattern of perforations through a Class A fire rated rigid template, the BAD Panel achieves an excellent balance of sound absorption across the NRC frequency bands while preserving the ambiance of the space. In all, this unique surface eliminates excessive high frequency absorption, transitions to a scattering surface in the very high frequencies, prevents lobing inherent in common perforated surfaces and significantly improves mid and low frequency absorption.
Sizing
Standard Panel Dimensions (mm): 600x600 to 2400x1200
Thicknesses: 29mm, 54mm, 79mm, 104mm
Description
Well balanced acoustical design contains an appropriate combination of absorption, reflection, and diffusion. In many applications, however, limited budget or available surface depth can preclude the use of sound diffusion products. If too much absorption is used, especially products that are efficient at absorbing sound in the high frequencies such as foam and fiberglass, it can lead to an acoustically “dead” environment without “air” or ambiance.
To solve this problem, RPG developed its BAD technology to provide a decorative panel solution that achieves balance between sound absorption and reflection. By inserting an optimally perforated, 3/16″ fire rated template between the fiberglass and the fabric during production, RPG has successfully created a surface that eliminates excessive high frequency absorption, prevents lobing inherent in common perforated surfaces and significantly improves mid and low frequency absorption.
BAD Panels consist of a binary amplitude template attached to a porous absorbing core, typically a rigid fiberglass board with appropriate density for optimum performance, covered with a fabric of choice. Panel edges are hardened and can be molded in a variety of profiles.
RPG has developed a simple and reliable method of attachment which offers fixed or removable installation utilizing rotofast clips for walls, Z-bar for ceilings and embedding anchors for suspending in a ceiling cloud.
