Default Re: my idea for an easy diffusor.

Quote:
are they as effective as absorbers?
That's like asking asking if the gas pedal is as effective as the break pedal. It doesn't work that way. Absorbers suck up the sound and diffusors scatter the sound by reflecting it.

I was thnking of a way I might make my own diffusor and I thought of buying a bunch of wooden half semi spheres or balls and screwing them into a large wooden pannel and hanging it on my wall.
This has been done many, many times. How it sounds will depend on your particular situation, but this is how I would approach it.

I was thinking the ideal space would be a round room because there wouldn't be any direct reflections and this was the closest idea I could I come to that.
The round room is an interesting concept that I've done some research into. However, it isn't the most practical thing to implement. Unfortunately, hanging stuff on the walls is the best bet.
