  Scandia Scatter Blocks  
  The Primacoustic Scandia creates a diffuse sound field for a more natural mix environment by breaking up ‘front to back’ reflections, reducing tiresome standing waves and flutter echo. Primarily designed for the rear receiving wall in the control/mix room, but can be used where a mix of absorption and reflection is desirable. Create a diffuse field rear wall

Reduce listening fatigue
Create the ‘live-zone’

Scandia Tile Structure
(two tiles shown)

Scandia Scatter Blocks are a series of strategically placed acoustical panels that provide an effective solution to rear-wall reflections, standing waves and slap echo while introducing a concept we call soft diffusion.

Scandia's soft diffusion allows energy to be reflected back into the room, while some is absorbed, resulting in a room with more 'air' and a more natural, open sound. This provides a viable alternative to true wood diffusion without the high cost that is generally associated with wood construction.

Made from high-density open-cell acoustic foam, Scandia scatter blocks are easy to install. From one box you can assemble a variety of wall patterns and create an effective and architecturally attractive solution. Placement is generally at the receive end of the room or randomly placed on walls where excessive reflective splash may occur. Scandia is a key component to creating a live-end, dead-end studio design. *Note: Australis Bass Trap shown in photo for reference. Australis Bass traps are not included with the Scandia Kits.


Rear Wall Soft Diffusion Effect
Scandia blocks are arranged with gaps equal in size to the Scandia wedge tiles. Fifty percent of the wall remains reflective and fifty percent becomes absorptive. The graphic on the right illustrates the soft diffusion concept. Red arrows represent primary reflection that create standing waves in untreated rooms. Green arrows represent secondary reflections that can increase chatter in an untreated room. Scandia reduces the amount of energy that is reflected back into the room without making the room sound dead.

Graphic to the right shows Scandia 85 on a simulated 10' wide x 8' high wall.

The Australis bass traps are shown for reference only and are not included with the Scandia kits.






Scandia's most common pattern layout produces
a rear wall surface that is 50% absorptive and 50% reflective.
