The AEP-MPX is a broadband, hollow pyramidal shaped absorber. It is made of carbon-loaded polyurethane
foam and is light weight due to the hollow construction. This shape and construction allows for
excellent impedance matching and minimized reflection. The AEP-36 MPX to AEP-60 MPX absorbers are a
conventional pyramid with a square base of uniform thickness, tapered to a point.
