True Diffusion Sound diffusers offer many benefits for small room acoustics. Let’s examine the only true diffuser in our tool bag of sound absorption and sound diffusion tools. The only true sound diffusion technology is called quadratic diffusion. All other technologies that claim to be sound diffusers are really only sound redirection devices. A true […]
Best Wood In Acoustic Panels
What is the best wood for acoustic panels? It depends on which type of acoustic panel you are talking about. If we are discussing sound-absorbing panels that have fabric covering then the wood type does not really have an impact on performance. If we are discussing diffusers, then the wood type does have an impact […]
Rockwool in Acoustic Treatment
The terms Rockwool in acoustic treatment should never be used together. Rockwool or building insulation is designed for BTU retention or heat and cold temperature management. It was never designed for a sound absorption process. The design parameters are cost-effective for keeping your house warm or cool, but they destroy middle and high frequencies when […]

Ceiling foam panels come in many thicknesses. The thickness of the […]
Low Frequency Absorbing Materials
Low-Frequency Absorbing Materials Low-frequency absorbing materials come in many forms. Low-frequency energy is defined as energy below 100 Hz. It is called wave energy because each wavelength or frequency acts like a wave. If you have been in the ocean, you see the waves oscillating from the water to the shore. This is what happens […]
Sound Diffuser Pattern
A sound diffuser is a technology to reduce the impact of reflections from our walls and ceilings in our recording studios, home theaters, and any other critical listening environment. Reflections help our brains localize distance. The job of the diffuser and its sound diffuser pattern is to disrupt our brain’s ability to process the reflections […]
Small Room Bass Problems
Small Room Bass Problems All small rooms have low-frequency or “bass” problems. It is the result of a combination of the wrong widths, lengths, and heights. There are certain ratios of these three dimensions that cause more small room bass problems. Your first step in finding a room that has less small room bass problems, […]
Recording Studio Windows
Recording Studio Windows Recording studio windows are both a blessing and a curse. They allow us to see the talent and what is going on in our live rooms.
