Modulated Arrays, MA 200 1D [back]

MA 200 1D creates in combination with chosen Creation Panel separate diffuser modules, that diffuses in one dimension. By aid of known number theory the MA modules are placed at different depth and make up a diffuser in a diffuser. The advantage by this construction, that can be compared to a 2-way loudspeaker with a dividing filter at 900 Hz, is that narrow and deep compartments are avoided and that the periodical effects are minimised ( different number series can be mixed)

The separate modules are delivered with or without 16mm partition walls.

The MA 200 1D is delivered with or without bass absorption, which make them unique on the world market. The bass absorption is carried out effectively with the Helmholtz principle. Since the volume behind chosen MA module varies a frequency broad bass absorption with a high absorption coefficient (>0,7) is obtained. The lowest frequency for absorption is determined by the chosen maximum depth of the MA module. The lowest grade of diffusion is determined by the total width in combination with the maximal depth.

Advantages with MA 200 1D


Developed in co-operation with Musicians

Narrow and deep compartments are avoided which brings low absorption in the area that are to be diffused.

Since each module is free standing it is possible to place the partition walls between an optional number of MA modules

Large areas can be diffused (for example concert halls)

Variable acoustics can be obtained by AC 200

Possibilities to adjust the bass absorption to the lower frequency of the diffusers

Different Creation panels are available
Cost efficient
