BAD ™ Arc
PRODUCT OVERVIEW The BAD™ (Binary Amplitude Diffuser) Arc Panel is an advancement on the traditional, flat BAD™ Panel, a synergy of advanced acoustical technology and simplicity of design for when performance is paramount but budgets are modest. Using an optimal binary pattern of perforations through a Class A fire-rated curved, rigid template, the BAD™ Arc Panel achieves an excellent balance of sound absorption across the NRC frequency bands while preserving the space's ambiance. This unique hybrid technology eliminates excessive high- frequency absorption, transitions to a scattering surface in the very high frequencies, prevents lobing inherent in common perforated surfaces and significantly improves mid and low-frequency absorption. SIZING • Standard Panel: 23-5/8" W x 47-1/4" L x 4" D • Maximum Panel: 4' W x 8' L (Custom widths and lengths are available. Deeper units for low-frequency extension can also be provided.)
Additional test data is available – please see the Supplementary Acoustical Data Charts online or contact your local RPG Sales Representative. The sound absorption chart above represents the performance of the standard 4" BAD™ Arc in a reverberation chamber per ASTM-C423.

The BAD™ Arc Panel can be wrapped with RPG- reviewed industry standard and custom fabrics. Fabrics with acoustical performance data are preferred. INSTALLATION The BAD™ Arc Panel can be quickly and easily hung on any wall surface using RPG’s Impalit™ clip. For ceiling applications, the panels can be either direct mounted with Z-bar attachments or suspended using a cloud anchor kit. Panels can also be configured to be installed in standard 15/16" HD T-grid supplied by others.
