Diffusers are hard surfaced acoustical treatments with either irregular surfaces that break up and scatter sound waves in multiple directions, or convex curved surfaces to gently split frequencies and deflect them in multiple directions. Diffusers improve the surround field creating a more immersive experience for the listener. In their natural state, diffusers give an appearance befitting a recording studio rather than a home theater. For this reason they are generally hidden behind an acoustically transparent fabric. Acoustic Innovation Diffusers come in two product types and two colors:

• Randomizing (Black or White)
• Radial (Black or White)

Both styles of diffusers can be painted using standard household paint. Upon request, diffusers can be integrated behind fabric in a wood frame that can then be hung directly on a wall like our Element or Harmony Panel series. In other applications, diffusers may be adhered directly to a wall underneath a fabric stretch wall solution like our Concerto Wall System. Diffusers provide a similar benefit to reflective panels, but can be more effective as the diffusers surface breaks up sound waves and scatters them in many directions, while reflective panels cast sound into a narrower and more direct angle. Both are used to enhance the surround field, assisting the illusion of envelopment. It's important to recognize that diffusers have a specific task in the theater and should not be used in critical areas such as first reflection points as they provide little sound absorption. For this reason its important to use a balance of acoustically absorptive, reflective and diffusive products to provide ideal acoustical control in your theater. Learn how to purchase Diffusers here.
