The PCAD (Poly Cylindrical Absorbing Diffusor) is a highly curved panel providing broadband absorption to reduce the “echo” in the room. These unique panels have the added benefit of treble reflectors distributed evenly throughout the panel. This is the perfect product for fine tuning your listening room, calming the room just enough without overly deadening the sound.

Description
The PCAD Panel is the perfect product for fine tuning your listening room, calming the room just enough without overly deadening the sound. Maintain even sound throughout the affected space and keep the live “ambient” feel of the room while effectively reducing the resonance that degrades the live sound of a performance. As always, ASC gives you incredible finish detail that you can be proud to display in your studio.
BenefitsThe PCAD has built-in absorption/diffusion roll-off curve that peaks at 500Hz and begins treble diffusion at 1kHz. When mounted directly to the wall using “Z” clips, you can expect this standard curve. |

| The back panel of the PCAD can be vented which allows the panel to be tuned to trap even lower frequencies. By furring the PCAD out from the wall, typically by a 2″ x 2 frame–sealed on all 4 sides, trapping at frequencies all the way down to 45Hz is possible. The LF roll-off for the PCAD can be adjusted in this way dependent on the gap size behind the panel. This means that each PCAD Panel is tunable to meet the individual needs of your room. |  |
How it WorksThree Basic Elements There are three basic elements to the PCAD (Poly Cylindrical Absorbing Diffusor) Panel:

|
| No, it’s not a “Poly Diffusor” – The treble diffusion system used by the PCAD may look like standard “Poly Diffusor”, but it’s actually quite different. The diffusion is created via a set of varying width reflecting strips that use edge diffusion format for diffusion. This generates a fine-grain enhancement of lateral diffusion through the room. The resultant sound is bright and lively without creating “hot spots” within the room. |
