    BAD™ (Binary Amplitude Diffuser) ARC Acoustic Panel

    The BADTM (Binary Amplitude Diffuser) Arc Panel is an advancement on the traditional, flat BADTM Panel, a 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 curved, rigid template, the BADTM Arc Panel achieves an excellent balance of sound absorption across the NRC frequency bands while preserving the space’s ambiance. This unique hybrid technology 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.

    Features

    • Cost-effective arced/curved-face panel solution that achieves a balance between sound absorption and reflection.
    • Available in custom sizes up to 4′ W x 8′ L x 4″ T. Custom thicknesses are available.
