Hi Ethan and community, Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but i've been trying to research what this Acoustic Treatment is that the BBC are using in most of their radio studios at the moment. there are pictures everywhere but i can't find any information. Is it a reflective material over an absorbative one, with diffusion? does anyone know anything about them? They must be effective as the BBC were always at the cutting edge... right? or not? Thanks!

Re reading my post, i'd just like to clarify that i'm not fishing for product names with this, just interested if anyone knows about the acoustics at work here! I dont want to know who maufactured the stuff.

I dont want to know who maufactured the stuff. Who knows what it is? It doesn't look like proper diffusion. What it looks like, to me, is a scattering layer over absorption. Exactly how dense that outer layer is, I don't know. It may be semi-absorbent. Remember, when using a rigid material over absorption - and when they're in contact - low frequency performance is enhanced. Even if it was diffusion, it wouldn't matter much because they're too close to the boundaries to make much difference. It could be some kind of acoustic plaster (like ceiling tiles) or any other number of specialized materials. Maybe send them an email and ask? Coincidentally, someone just tweeted this: I've seen those before and, iirc, they're scattering surfaces. I mean, anything is better than a flat-wave reflection. You just need to define what your room needs.
