Imagine hearing your music in a whole new way; the way the artist intended it to be heard. Most audio is heard in less than optimal settings. Your walls, your furniture, your ceilings, even your floor covering can all impact and modify the quality of the sound coming from your system. In fact, the goal of any acoustical product should be to eliminate the room effects caused by the room's walls, ceiling, and floor.

 

With Acoustic Fields' revolutionary products, you can eliminate the barriers to a quality audio experience and do so with products that have the performance and appearance of today's finest speakers and amplifiers. Our products will truly allow you to listen to the music, without hearing the room.

 

Today's audio amplifiers and speakers are not the only components of our sound systems. Solid state or tube amplifiers are two popular energy sources. Stereo speakers can be bookshelf speakers, floorstanding speakers or just simply loud speakers. Whether we are using them in sound recording, in a sound studio, or just have our own sound room, audio amplifiers and speakers do not stand alone;they must produce soundwaves in a room.

 

What does the room acoustic add or subtract from our presentation. It adds over 50% to what we hear in the total sonic presentation. It does not matter whether it is simply a two channel system or a home theater system, the room matters.

 

First, we must deal with the energy outside our room. Soundproofing our rooms refers to sound barrier technology. To have a room that is soundproof, requires technology that uses a soundbarrier type of approach. To control noise from the outside, we must use sound deadening materials arranged in a manner that adds to a sound proof room. This is not what our technology is about. Our products focus on the energy and sound frequency within the confines of room boundaries.

 

Many terms are used to describe room acoustic products. In the past, fiberglass insulation was used in acoustic panels. Later, companies developed an acoustic foam or soundfoam. The whole genra was referred to as sound insulation. All of this technology was focused on sound deadening or absorption of soundwaves. All of this absorptive technology was to be able to impart sound control with a minimum of sound design. This was not sound audio.

 

Once you absorb sound waves, they are converted to heat, whether you are using fiberglass insulation, foam insulation, or acoustic foam. All of these acoustic panels absorb sound waves. Is our goal really to lose sound energy in order to control it?

 

Middle and high frequency signals from our speakers, amplifiers, and rooms must be controlled if we are to create a soundstage with our speakers  that has any impact. Reflections from room walls, floors and ceilings must be spread out evenly throughout the room using diffusion to avoid destroying the sound stage. No need to lose energy with diffusion. Diffusion coupled with middle and high frequency absorption is the proper acoustic treatment balance.

 

In our home theater systems, subwoofers produce low frequency sound waves. Acoustic panels made of fiberglass insulation or foam insulation, offer nothing to stop low frequency energy. Surround sound has a special low frequency output that the subwoofer or subwoofers must drive. Bass waves start at 30' lengths and go to 60'. It takes special technology to handle this amount of energy. 

 

Our blend of unique low frequency absorption technology is achieved using activated carbon filters inside sealed enclosures. Activated carbon produces low frequency absorption below 100 hz. This unique blend of low frequency absorption coupled with our quadratic diffusion sequences produces a single product capable of performing all the acoustical chores today's speakers and amplifiers can produce in any room type.

Pictured above is our new ACDA-5 with absorption starting at 50 hz. and going through 6,300 hz. ! Units measure 10" wide, 5' deep, and can be made in lengths from 48"-72". There are 38 fabric color Guilford Fabrics choices and numerous light, medium, and dark wood stains. The MDW-13 is our new middle and high frequency diffusor which measures 7" wide by 4" deep  with 48"-72" lengths. Both units are made of solid wood with furniture grade finishes. Units can be hung vertically or horizontally. The unit to the right is our flagship product the QDA-13. The QDA-13 incorporates low frequency absorption from 30 hz. -100 hz. It also diffuses energy from 225 hz. - 3,200 hz. The QDA -13 does it all in one unit. This has never been made commercially viable until now.  A component level room acoustic product in both form, function, and appearance.

Below find our most powerful, low frequency absorber the ACDA-12. It absorbs energy from 30hz. - 50 hz. See the Riverbank Labs Test Results Our ACDA-10 is our broadband, low frequency absorber absorbing energy from 30hz. - 100 hz. Cabinets can be finished in any manner you choose. The unit pictured here is a black, piano lacquer, with 6 coats of clear. You can choose from 38 fabric face options. Guilford Fabrics 

The QDA-13 pictured below is our top of the line product. It provides low frequency absorption from 30hz.-100hz. and also provides quadratic diffusion from 225hz.-3,300hz.  It is finished in furniture grade veneers and is available in over 30 different wood and stain choices. The QDA-13 can be fitted with a solid wood fabric frame and cloth or with solid wood diffusion vertical and horizontal slats. No other company currently offers a product with such performance, versatility, and performance.

SKU   QDA-11
Title   QDA-11
Description  

Features
The QDA-11 has quadratic diffusion and activated carbon diaphragmatic absorption combined in one unit. Quadratic diffusion from 375 hz. - 3,400 hz. coupled with 3 low frequency activated carbon absorbers. The bottom absorber begins absorbing at 35 hz. and goes to 50hz. Behind the diffusor section, we have 2 activated carbon, diaphragmatic absorbers that are broadband absorbers beginning at 40 hz. and going through 100 hz. See our Riverbank test results section for more specific performance data. Both ACDA - 10 and ACDA -12 frequency response curves apply to this product. Units are completely finished in furniture grade veneers with light, medium, and dark stains. Units are 60" high, 24.5" wide, and 10" deep. Each unit weighs 235 pounds.

 

Benefits
Quadratic diffusion eliminates wall relections by spreading middle and high frequency energy out in fanlike array across our roomw. Diffusion is preferred over absorption because with absorption, sound energy is converted to heat and is lost forever. The answer is not to lose energy to control it.

 

The wider the frequency response range in the diffusor, the more air, seperation, layers, and definition are added to our recordings and playback presentations. The activated carbon, diaphragmatic absorbers, absorb low frequency energy across the low frequency spectrum in a smooth and uniform rate and level. With this low frequency energy control, our bass energy in our recordings and presentations becomes more defined and seperated. Bass definition is critical to a balanced recording or presentation. It is the foundation upon which the middle and high frequencies rest upon.

 

Instead of buying seperate diffusion and absorbing products to accomplish the above goals, you can have both in one unit. Our furniture grade veneers equal or exceed the quality levels found on today's upper end speakers. With this performance level in the low, middle, and high frequency ranges of our music, we now have another component to add with our amplifiers and speakers.
