About us
Rebel Sky Acoustics was founded in 2017 amongst Etsy’s thriving community. 5 years later, Rebel Sky Acoustics has developed a niche at the intersection of beauty and performance. RSA has a talented team made up of artists, craftsmen, and audio experts, as well as a strong leadership vision to be a force in the engineering of the audio experience. The Rebel Sky Acoustics Creative Studio is located in Redding, CA and currently ships products all over the US and Canada.
Form:
RSA diffusers are made in the USA. Our panels are created from hand selected, locally sourced Redwood, that our team of craftsmen cut, clean, sand and paint with care, in order to create, not just a functional diffusion panel, but something uniquely artistic.
Our goal is to make art that carries the diffusion properties of the industry leading acoustic panels. Our team strives to build products that carry an aesthetic appeal that helps to spur on higher levels of creativity in the spaces they are displayed in.
Rebel Sky Acoustics has 3 signature lines: Standard Panels, Artistic Panels, and our exclusive Pixelated Realism.
Function:
Every Rebel Sky Acoustics diffuser panel is made from 100% California Redwood and features a signature Quadratic 7 prime “skyline” diffractor designed to target and neutralize a spectrum of problematic frequencies between 2800Hz - 11kHz.
The functional benefit results is the dispelling of unwanted echos and reverbs, without stealing from the pure sound being released from voices, instruments, amps, or studio monitors.
Our panels have been tested and certified (both NRC rating and diffusion) by NWAA Labs and Riverbank Acoustical Labs to ensure high performance diffusion from every RSA product.
Testing Breakdown:
SOUND SURFACE REFLECTION TEST (Diffusion Testing)
The methods and procedures used in this test conform to the provisions and requirements of ASTM Preliminary Procedure, Standard Test Method for Surface Reflections by the Modified AES Standard AES-156.The test volume is a cuboid, 205.74 m (675.0 ft) long by 106.68 m (350.0 ft) wide by 18.29 m (60.0 ft) high, and volume is 401,391.3 m3 (14,175,000.0 ft3). There are six fixed surfaces in the test volume. There is a single source consisting of a SoundTube, 8inch speaker mounted in a pendant mount above the DUT on the microphone arc next to the #1 microphone about 3degree off to the side. We utilize nineteen Earthworks M-30 Omni directional microphones mounted in an arc, with the center of the arc located at the rotational origin of the DUT to gather the data. 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 and must include all pages of the report.
DESCRIPTION OF TEST SPECIMEN
The test specimen consisted of one sample unit that is 121.92 cm (48.0 inch) long by 60.96 cm (24.0 inches) wide by 13.97 cm (5.5 inches) thick flat panel mounted in the DUT test position. These panel was made from a redwood material and stained. (See Pictures).
