Auralex SCREEN6 System
The Auralex SCREEN6 System (SpaceCoupler Reflective Energy Envelope) is a set of six SpaceCouplers and the mounting hardware to join them together. You can use them for both wall and ceiling applications. Position them on hard walls and ceilings to tame those early reflections without taking sound energy out of the room. Until now, the only affordable way to control specific reflection paths was with absorption, which also affects the room's overall response —sometimes in ways that are highly undesirable.

A SCREEN6 cloud or wall grouping takes the energy from the monitors or the sound that you're trying to capture and spreads it out, removing the discrete reflection but keeping its contribution to the room's reverberant tail. As the angle of the sound source increases, approaching grazing incidence, the SpaceCoupler provides increasingly more diffusion.

By placing the Auralex SCREEN6 strategically and adjusting the spacing from the surface, the acoustical response can be optimized to the unique relationship of the monitors, listeners, and room boundaries.

SpaceCoupler The pArtScience SpaceCoupler, designed by Russ Berger for Auralex, is already well-known as a means of enhancing loosely coupled spaces, but it is also ideal for controlling early reflections.

In monitoring environments, like mix rooms and home studios, it is the first bounce off the walls and ceiling that—if left uncontrolled—will be most detrimental in coloring the sound. Recorded sound in studios, too—particularly in small rooms—can take on an unwanted character if nearby surfaces aren't treated.

The SpaceCoupler is handmade from solid wood. The craftsmanship is exceptional and the musical qualities of the Paulownia wood (used in musical instrument construction) give a very natural feel to a room that is pleasant to be in and conducive to maximizing creativity. Coupled spaces, increased absorber efficiency, well-scattered (diffused) sound and its high-end appearance all make the SpaceCoupler one of the most exciting acoustic products introduced in the past decade.
