  • Interfering reflections can be controlled by absorption or diffusion.

  • In small rooms, it is often desirable to control interfering reflections and provide an ambient sound field using diffusion instead of absorption.

  • When the room’s surfaces are relatively close to the listener, a very efficient diffusing surface is needed.

  • The Skyline scatters incident sound uniformly so that the acoustic glare in all directions is minimized.

    • Problem and Solution

    Problem
    Small rooms like Project Studios need a very efficient surface to diffuse interfering rear wall reflections and provide a diffuse sound field.

    Solution
    To solve this problem, the skyline utilises advanced primitive root number theory to produce the most powerful and aesthetic two dimensional omnidirectional diffusing surface in the acoustical industry.

    Skyline Diffusion Coefficient Graph


    Diffusion
    The uniformity of diffusion is characterized by the standard deviation of the 1/3 octave polar response, for a given angle of incidence. For each of the 37 angles of incidence, 37 backscattering impulse response measurements are made at 5° increments between 0° and 180°. The Diffusion Coefficient is the mean standard deviation for all angles of incidence, normalized to the standard deviation of a delta function (1 equals ideal diffusion). The data illustrate the exceptional uniformity of diffusion above the diffraction limit (565 Hz = 1130 ft/sec/2'), which is related to the 2' dimension of the panel. The Diffusion Coefficient of a flat reflective panel is shown for comparison.

    Absorption
    The solid expanded Caril polystyrene core of the Skyline provides useful low frequency absorption.

    Installation

    The Skyline is very easy to install on walls or ceilings using either construction adhesive or the supplied hook and loop fasteners. Apply both sides of the hook and loop fastener to the rear of the Skyline in each corner on a flat area. Remove the protective paper from the exposed side and apply to the wall. For permanent mounting you may wish to also apply construction adhesive along with the hook and loop. Skylines can also be inserted into a T-bar ceiling grid. Also supplied with a 'duo tube' which can be screwed to the walls and the Skyline can be slid onto the tube. Be sure to apply all Skylines in the same orientation.

    NEW VERSION !!
    We now have a thinner version of the Skyline which is only 120mm deep. It won't fit into a metric ceiling grid but is made from polypropylene so is much harder wearing, although slightly heavier, than the original version above. Diffusion characteristics are the same but at a cheaper price! Mounting is with adhesive only.
