ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. MATRIXPANELS
April 2004—MatrixPanels are wall-mounted acoustic panels that offer excellent sound absorption and diffusion for small spaces or any situation where listeners are placed near the wall. The MatrixPanel efficiently absorbs sound energy down to 120 Hz and provides treble diffusion that's effective and musical. The panels are available in a variety of fabric colors and are set in handsome solid oak frames. Prices: $288 (24x24 inches) and $458 (24x48 inches). www.tubetrap.com
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. ISO-WALL
December 2003—Developed for the D.I.Y.-er or contractors seeking to soundproof their audio workspace, the Iso-Wall system from Acoustic Sciences Corp. uses construction-grade, vibration-absorbing, visco-elastic WallDamp polymer tiles and isolation strips. Additional components include damped resilient channels, perimeter gaskets, wall-bearing felt and construction-grade acoustic sealant. The Iso-Wall system is available at $4 per square foot of surface area, and various kits are available to accommodate a wide range of room sizes. The Iso-Wall components can be shipped via UPS anywhere in the U.S. or internationally.
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. ATTACKWALL
June 2002—Created with the company's Tube Trap, Studio Trap and Monitor Stand components, Acoustic Science's AttackWall ($4,998) provides a portable and repeatable sound field wherever it travels. Placed aside monitors and with its absorptive sides rotated in toward the engineer, the 20-piece AttackWall package creates a well-tuned, soffitt-loaded, dead front end that is stated to be absorptive down to 110 Hz while eliminating vertical low-bass bounce.
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. ISO-WALL
June 2002—Check out Acoustic Science's Iso-Wall System package (approximately $3 per square foot for wall and ceiling area) when you're ready to get more physical with sound issues and build some seriously sound-treated walls. This multilayered wall package is made up of unique damping materials that use a special visco-elastic polymer designed to absorb low-frequency bass energy and keep it from feeding back into a room, resulting in cleaner, richer sound and a better balanced frequency response. There's even an interactive QuickTime 3-D tool on the company's site that walks visitors through each step of the Iso-Wall installation process.
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. MIXSTATION
June 2002—The MixStation System ($1,500) is an economical soundproofing package available for medium and small rooms. MixStation comprises three wall-mounted diffuse panels (front, left and right arrays) and 10 of the company's Sound Panels, 48x8 inches by 2-inch-thick panels available in a wide selection of fabrics. Each Sound Panel's beveled-relief face helps provide absorption from 200 Hz over the entire treble range, and all Tube Trap products use a built-in reflector strip to maintain diffusive brightness.
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. MIXSTATION
June 2001—ASC's MixStation ($1,500) is a new acoustic mixing solution built for project studios and production suites. It comes complete with prefabricated, wall-mounted diffusive panels. Bastone Ceiling Panels ($98 per 2x2-foot panel) provide diffusion and bass trapping and drop right into any standard ceiling opening. The Iso-Wall Construction System (about $3 per square foot wall/ceiling area) uses ASC's proprietary WallDamp, a visco-elastic polymer material, to absorb excess low-frequency energy and reduce wall shudders in high-volume music playback environments.
ACOUSTIC SCIENCE CORP. NEW STUDIO CONFIGURATIONS
June 2001—Acoustic Sciences Corp.'s patented Tube Trap, a corner-loaded bass trap, has been around for years. Most recently, the company has released three new studio configurations based on Tube Trap and Studio Trap, the company's freestanding acoustic gobo counterpart. The Quick Sound Field ($2,498, pictured) is a versatile arrangement of Studio Traps that offers three distinct recording environments at the turn of a few traps. Rotating each Studio Trap's reflectors outward creates a boom-free dead space; tightening or opening up the spaces between Studio Traps dials in low-level room ambience; and turning the reflectors inward toward the mic creates a bright, transparent sound. The AttackWall ($4,998) arranges Tube Traps, Studio Traps and ASC's Monitor Stands to create a completely portable acoustic subspace for mixing.
