Fine-tuning one’s listening room is an art in and of itself and among my greatest passions. I’ve been fine-tuning my room for nearly three decades. Using the third-floor attic of my brick home, I’ve had some exciting results that ranged from stellar to terrible. Of all the room-tuning products I’ve tried over the years, Acoustic Revive is one from which I’ve come to expect the best results.
So much so that in 2009, I visited the beautiful city of Tokyo, Japan, home to Acoustic Revive president Ken Ishiguro. During a series of factory tours throughout Tokyo over seven days, I realized how vast and sophisticated the Acoustic Revive brand is. Today, my listening room uses Acoustic Revive’s RWL-3 Room Tuning Panels. The RWL-3’s handsome styling, curved exterior, and specially designed internal (silk) fabrics made my space more attractive while improving image stability, focus, overall balance, and vibrancy. What I discovered about the RWL-3 while watching them being assembled is they’re not absorption devices. They’re designed to diffuse reflections, which helps keep my room from sounding dead. What the RWL-3s do is help eliminate unwanted standing waves, reflections, and boom. Sound absorption devices can potentially harm rather than help when not applied appropriately.
Moreover, I’ve had excellent results with other AR products, namely their REM-8 EMF canceller, RGC-24 Ground Conditioner, and RR-888 Ultra-Low-Frequency Pulse Generator.
When I noticed AR had released a brand-new accessory in the Acoustic Revive RHR-21 Acoustic Resolution Exciter, my first thought was to find out how this product worked. After reading this on their website, I realized that the RHR-1 is small. However, thanks to its special structure, which is the subject of a utility model patent, it achieves a standing wave elimination effect that far exceeds that of large room tuning products for the listening room. Simply place it in the corner of a room, near a speaker, behind an audio rack, or anywhere standing waves tend to accumulate, and it will eliminate standing waves, providing clear, high-quality sound…
