Auralex Acoustics launched the Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusor Series at CEDIA 2011, a new range of acoustical products made from eco-friendly bamboo.

The new line — which consists of the WavePrism, WaveLens, QuadraTec, Peak Pyramid Diffusor and KeyPacs — utilizes the green and acoustical properties of natural bamboo.
“As a green alternative to traditional hardwood, Auralex’s new Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusor Series is the perfect complement to any home décor,” said Eric Smith, founder and president of Auralex Acoustics. “Through this new line of bamboo-based products, our home theater and residential customers now have an even broader range of products to choose from, both acoustically and aesthetically.”
The Auralex WavePrism eliminates flutter echoes and other acoustical anomalies without removing acoustical energy from the space. The closed box design of the product disperses sound evenly to create a more consistent audio environment, according to the company. The WavePrism is sized to drop into a suspended ceiling grid or can be wall mounted using mechanical fasteners.
Auralex WaveLens’ open-boxed design scatters and redirects acoustical energy. The WaveLens can be beneficial in numerous applications as it can create a “large sound” in a small room, while optimizing existing absorption panels by redirecting the sound energy.
The QuadraTec’s unique tiered design provides excellent scattering properties, resulting in a warm, musical character to the dispersed sound. The nested pair offers two unique diffusion tools that, when used in combination with each other, can result in a more spacious feel in any room. The lightweight design allows QuadraTec diffusors to be placed in suspended ceiling grids or attached to wall surfaces with mechanical fasteners.
Auralex’s Peak Pyramid Diffusor is optimized to provide high-quality sound diffusion while also doubling as an effective bass trap when filled with absorptive material. These lightweight, sturdy, pyramid-shaped diffusors are sized so that they can be dropped into a suspended ceiling grid or installed onto wall surfaces using mechanical fasteners.
KeyPacs are designed to be mounted to the face of absorptive panels, such as Auralex’s ProPanels or Studiofoam. These specifically designed panels will fine-tune existing absorption treatment to be more effective in the low and mid range while not killing off the higher frequencies, yielding a room that is well balanced across the frequency range. KeyPacs are available in three configurations: 9 Hole, Bubble and Star.
