RD Acoustic Panels Will Improve Your Listening Space’s Sound
Melbourne-based distributor, Nirvana Sound, and its unparalleled high-end brand portfolio is set to be bolstered by the arrival of the Czech Republic acoustic solutions brand, RD Acoustic.
In the pursuit of a more engaging, enjoyable sound, Audiophiles tend to place the primary importance on their equipment choices. This comes at the cost of what is unquestionably as crucial, the room itself.
Nirvana Sound is only too aware of this and scoured the globe for a solution, and this week were awarded distribution rights to RD Acoustic. The company was founded by audio purists Radovan Řehořek and David Piska; a small company but one that is making a rather large impact in the world of high-end audio.
Its new hybrid diffuser panels are said to be the result of extensive research and represent a significant step forward in the field of acoustic treatment of listening spaces. While dampening reflected acoustic waves in one plane, they evenly diffuse them in the other.
RD Acoustic incorporated a circular diffusion pattern and designed two versions of the hybrid diffuser. The ‘D’ version has a greater diffusion efficiency and is available in 3 dispersion patterns. The ‘A’ version has a greater absorption efficiency and is also available in 3 dispersion patterns.
Prices start from $1,990 for a 1m x 1m panel and panels can be manufactured to custom dimensions and finishes.
RD Acoustic has also developed an acoustic diffuser based on what it says is a very efficient quadratic formula, preventing unwanted sound wave reflections in the listening space. It achieves better in-room acoustics by evenly diffusing sound waves.
The RD Acoustic Hybrid Diffusers are available now and on demonstration at Nirvana Sound in Melbourne.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
