Overview

An acoustic diffuser scatters sound reflections instead of absorbing them, so a room sounds open and natural rather than dead. The 3D model shows a wooden grid of blocks at stepped depths in a frame.

Sizing & placement

It is 24 inches wide, 4 inches deep and 24 inches tall (2 ft × 2 ft panel). It hangs on the wall with its bottom 60 inches off the floor by default, and you can change the mount height when it is selected. Diffusers usually go on the back wall behind the listening position.

Where it works

Home studios, recording and podcast rooms, home theaters and listening rooms. Find it under Recording & Podcast on the Recreation Room and Office tabs, or search "diffuser" or "acoustic diffuser".
