Copies of the test standard are available at www.iso.org . The test chamber is a cuboid, 871.7cm long by 541cm wide by 609.6cm high, and volume is 275 cubic meters. There are six fixed surfaces and two movable/fixed surfaces oriented as diffusers in the reverberation room. There are two sources one in each corner consisting of two Dodecahedron speakers and two sub-bass cabinets for extended low frequency capabilities. We utilize 6 Earthworks M-30 Omni directional microphones to gather the impulse responses. This test report relates only to the item(s) tested. Any advertisement that utilizes this test report or test data must not imply product certification or endorsement by NWAA Labs. DESCRIPTION OF TEST SPECIMEN The test specimen consisted of 11 full sized panels of Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) that are 24 inches (60.96 cm) long by 24 inches (60.96 cm) wide and 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick and 16 partial panels that are of various sizes creating a circular sample with a diameter of 127.5 inches (3.24m). The surface of the GFRG was grooved in a proprietary pattern, Asymmetrical Cellular Acoustic Diffuser (ACAD), that made grooves that were 0.973 inches (24.71 mm) wide with various lengths across the surface. The pattern is shown in the included photo. Test results are presented on the following pages. Submitted by, NWAA Labs Inc ___________________________ Ron Sauro NWAA Labs Inc
