The ATS Acoustic Diffuser is a precisely calculated Quadratic Residue Diffuser (QRD) designed to evenly scatter sound energy which eliminates acoustical problems such as comb filtering and flutter echo.

Comb filtering and flutter echos can seriously affect the detail and clarity of the sound in your room.  Diffusion is a popular and effective solution used in professional recording studios, listening rooms, and even large auditoriums.

Absorption panels can control these problems as well, but they sometimes cause a space to sound dead if too much absorption is used in a small room.  Diffusion on the other hand, adds a sense of spaciousness and retains the natural ambiance of the room.  Since all diffusers are relatively ineffective controlling very low frequencies, absorption is still a must for recording and listening rooms.  Generally a mixture of absorption panels, diffusers, and bass traps provide the best overall results.

Diffusers are most commonly used on the rear wall behind the listening position, but they can also be used at first reflection points on the walls or ceiling.  We recommend the diffusers are at least 6 ft away from the listener’s ear to allow space for the even diffusion to take place.  For more details, please click here.
