MSR Acoustics Introduces Dimension4™Acoustical Tuning Systems for Home Theater Enhancement



By Gary Reber

MSR, Inc. introduces a new line of high-value acoustical tuning solutions for home theater designers, installers, and enthusiasts. Dimension4™ features three systems designed with an exclusive combination of absorbers, diffusers, and bass traps for superior sound performance and control. All three systems are pre-engineered to provide optimum audio quality without any complex acoustical calculations. Unpack, set it up, and share the experience!

According to MSR founder Anthony Grimani, "We don't just provide acoustical 'treatments' because we believe that a superlative media experience needs more than that. Our exclusive tuning systems are pre-engineered at the highest level so the dealer/installer need only choose the best system for the room size."

Each Dimension4 system includes a set of modules designed to deliver a clearer, smoother and more immersive audio experience. Dimension4™absorber modules create a precise and realistic soundfield. Cloud panels control the detrimental vertical ceiling reflections, and diffusers enhance sonic immersion. Bass traps eliminate muddy room resonances for a tighter and punchier bass. Dimension4™delivers full frequency solutions which ensure improved accuracy, focus, envelopment, and tonal balance. Each system offers a variety of configurations  to accommodate all room sizes.

"Through the combined experience and expertise of our engineering team, we are continually raising the bar with products and technologies that can solve different kinds of media space challenges," says Grimani. "We use unique materials and configurations that deliver greater results. With any given project, our goal is to create the highest quality audio experience possible, without compromise."

The Symphony system is the top-of-the-line solution for uncompromising quality. Made from a unique blend of eco-friendly composites, the deep absorbers have tailored high frequency response to enhance the air and brightness of the soundfield. Diffusers are made from exotic hardwoods to provide smooth hemispherical scattering and low frequency absorption. Corner bass traps are designed for frictional and tympanic absorption. The Symphony system is available in six room size configurations. MSRP ranges from $6,950 to $19,500, depending on configuration.

The Sonata system is a mid-range solution for high quality performance, and is especially suited to rooms with stretched fabric. The 2D and 3D diffusers are made with synthetic materials for lightness and ease of use. Medium depth absorbers and ceiling panels are made of dense fiberglass materials. Bass filters are made with composites of fiberglass and flexural absorption. Choose from six configurations depending on room size. Two module depths are also available, Standard or Plus. MSRP ranges from $3,900 to $11,650.

The Melody system is an entry-level solution for the budget-conscious client. Melody is constructed from patented composites of high-performance Rockwool and fiberglass. This system includes absorber modules for reflection and echo control, corner panels for bass control, and cleverly uses wedge strips for spatial diffusion. The Melody system is available in four ranges, depending on room size. MSRP is $1,200 to $4,900 depending on size configuration.
