Sound Splitters

Product Details

Sound Splitter are hard surfaced acoustical treatment with either irregular surfaces that break up and scatter sound waves in multiple directions, or convex curved surfaces to gently split frequencies and deflect them in multiple directions. Sound Splitter improve the surround field creating a more immersive experience for the listener. In their natural state, Sound Splitter give an appearance befitting a recording studio rather than a home theater. For this reason they are generally hidden behind an acoustically transparent fabric.
An acoustic absorber simply absorbs sound waves and such a panel can be placed anywhere it is needed to reduce the overall room reverberation and address the most damaging reflections. In many domestic rooms, a point is quickly reached where the room begins to sound dead. Sound Splitter can be used to address problematic re-flections without absorbing their energy. Instead, an incident sound wave is dispersed equally in all directions. This has two effects; the first is that a strong first reflection is reduced and the second is that the energy is re-directed so that it remains in the room but the sound arrives later and at a lower level, having travelled a longer path. A further benefit is that a small room actually sounds bigger when treated with diffusion, while a room treated only with absorption tends to sound more controlled until it becomes dead.
