KINETICS® TAD Revealed
Acoustical Wood Collection
Bring the science of tuned absorption/diffusion to light in beautiful wood finishes. TAD Revealed uncovers the variable-impedance diffusive design of Kinetics TAD (Tuned Absorber/Diffuser) panels to achieve acoustic results in a visually revealing way.
TAD Revealed offers a distinctive solution for large listening spaces (auditoriums, lecture halls, rehearsal rooms, etc.) where careful reverberation control is desirable.
TAD Revealed starts with a natural wood (or laminate) finish and an acoustically-optimized hole pattern that improves absorption in low frequencies, when compared to standard fabric-wrapped panels. At higher frequencies, the pattern also causes randomized reflections between the openings (variable impedance), improving speech intelligibility and musical spaciousness.
Configurations
Simply select the desired finish, then decide whether to field install TAD Revealed panels over nailers and absorbers or have Kinetics pre-build and ship as an all-in-one Ensemble panel.

Acoustical Performance
Absorption Coefficent per ASTM C423 *Tested with R11 fiberglass backer
Tad Revealed is one of four distinctive patterns for sound absorption in The Acoustical Wood Collection.
These patterns enable designers to create beautiful auditoriums, atriums, conference rooms, courthouses, student centers or other areas where finished wood is desired and acoustical comfort is needed.
