Acoustical reflection is often desirable in critical listening
environments versus the absorption
and deadening of sound energy. Higher frequency
sound reinforcement through early reflections off of the walls adds brilliance to
music and improves speech intelligibility. Higher
frequency sound is easily absorbed by common materials such as curtains, fabric covered
chairs, and peoples clothing. Designing the room to create a scattering of high
frequency sound reflections across the listening space is
preferable and often required to prevent unwanted flutter echo.
High Tones Wood Diffusers are manufactured from 4" wide
hardwood planks that are grooved
in a sequence of sound scattering wells of
varying depths. The planks are installed
side
by side so the sequence of wells repeats
itself
across a wide area. |
