The BAD (Binary Amplitude Diffuser) Arc Panel is an advancement on the traditional, flat BAD Panel, a synergy of advanced acoustical technology and simplicity of design for when performance is paramount but budgets are modest
..... Click To Read MoreProduct Description
The BAD Arc Panel is designed to provide a carefully balanced approach to acoustic treatment, combining absorption and diffusion to help maintain a natural and lively sound environment.
At the core of the panel is a curved, rigid template with an optimized binary pattern of perforations. This specialized design works together with a Class A fire-rated construction to deliver effective sound absorption across the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) frequency bands, while still preserving the natural ambience of the room.
Unlike conventional perforated acoustic panels, the BAD Arc Panel uses a hybrid approach that helps avoid excessive absorption of high frequencies. Instead, it gradually transitions into a scattering surface at very high frequencies, helping maintain clarity and spatial detail in the listening environment.
The engineered perforation pattern also helps reduce lobing effects often found in traditional perforated surfaces while significantly improving midrange and low-frequency absorption. This combination makes the panel well suited for spaces where controlled acoustics and a natural sound character are equally important, such as listening rooms, recording studios, home theaters, and performance environments.

Product Description
Introduced to mark the 20th anniversary of Phasemation, the Phasemation PP‑5000 represents a milestone model within the company’s lineup of high-end phono cartridges. Developed from two decades of research and engineering, this flagship moving-coil cartridge is designed to deliver exceptional resolution, precise imaging, and powerful bass performance for serious vinyl enthusiasts.
A standout element of the PP-5000 is its diamond cantilever, an advanced design choice that helps improve vibration transmission speed and allows the cartridge to capture greater levels of musical detail. This contributes to a wider sense of space, improved soundstage accuracy, and more refined reproduction of subtle musical nuances.
Key Highlights
Diamond Cantilever
The cartridge features a diamond cantilever—an innovative implementation within the Phasemation lineup. Its high rigidity and fast propagation characteristics support improved signal transmission from the stylus to the generator system.
Optimized Vibration System
A redesigned vibration structure helps improve trackability, allowing the stylus to follow groove modulations with high precision and stability.
Precision-Mounted Diamond Stylus
The stylus uses a natural diamond tip mounted with extremely tight tolerances. The refined mounting angle, controlled to approximately ±3 degrees, helps maintain accurate groove contact for detailed playback.
Refined Magnetic Circuit
An advanced polishing process is used in the magnetic circuit to improve field uniformity. This helps the cartridge reproduce extremely small signal variations, contributing to enhanced spatial expression and musical detail.
High-Rigidity Body Construction
The cartridge body features a stainless-steel base finished with titanium nitride coating for durability, paired with a duralumin cover treated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This rigid structure is designed to help minimize unwanted resonance while supporting stable and accurate playback.
