You’ve seen the name here before. RPG Diffusor Systems is the music industry’s most respected name in acoustical innovations. RPG’s products are specified in leading studios around the world, including a few you just may have heard of, like the Hit Factory, Sony Music, Gateway Mastering and Starstruck.

These top professional products, however, may be financially out of reach for smaller project studios - just for the sake of argument, let’s say yours or mine. To solve this problem, RPG founder, Dr. Peter D’Antonio, is introducing the Silver Package, the first in a series of very affordable “Studio in a Box” acoustical treatment packages. Dr. D’Antonio explains that “These packages scientifically and com-prehensively address all of the potential problems in a project studio that can cause acoustic distortion.” Well, that sounds like a pretty big claim, but this is one man who knows his acoustics.

Each package will include Image Tools to control comb filtering arising from strong reflections, Spatial Tools to increase the diffusion in small rooms, and Bass Tools to minimize low frequency room modes and speaker-boundary interference distortion. Okay, that sounds impressive, but we need to know more, right? The Studio in a Box Silver Package is a cost effective powerhouse consisting of RPG’s patented stackable ProFoam and the ProCorner. The package includes ten 2' x 4' ProFoam Panels (the Image Tools), thirty two 1' x 1' ProFoam Tiles (these are your Spatial Tools), and four 4’ high ProCorners (your . . . oh, you guessed it . . . Bass Tools) which offer absorption all the way down to your low E string! The Silver Package includes enough material to properly treat project studios up to 14' x 10' x 8'.

But the benefits don’t stop there. The Studio in a Box Silver Package looks as good as it performs. As an alternative to traditional foam shapes, the tools in the Silver Package have been designed with a curved profile to create an attractive, seamless acoustic wall treatment. And with color choices like blue, purple, or charcoal gray Class B/C Polyflex and white, white flec, or gray flec Class A Melaflex, you get even more options. If you need even more absorption, individual ProFoam panels can be purchased separately and stacked on top of your existing panels.

With RPG’s Studio in a Box Silver Package, your mix will improve, but your wallet won’t suffer - just the way we like it. With a list price starting at $499.99, the Studio in a Box Silver Package is an ideal cost effective Project Studio enhancement. Remember, if you can’t take the room out of your mix, you can’t take your mix out of the room!
