A fast method for the computation of layer potentials that arise in acoustic scattering is introduced. The principal idea is to split the singular kernel into a smooth and a local part. The potential due to the smooth part is computed efficiently using non-equispaced FFTs, the potential due to the local part is expanded as a series in the mollification parameter. The complexity of the approach is shown to be $O(n + \kappa^3 \log \kappa)$, where $n$ is the number of degrees of freedom in the discretization and $\kappa$ is the wave number. The constant factor in this asymptotic estimate is small since no singular surface integrals must be computed. Therefore the method is particularly efficient for medium-sized scatterers (50-100 wavelengths) that may have complicated geometry
