The shaped surfaces of Kinetics’ Geometric Diffusers break up direct sound reflections and disburse them more evenly throughout the listening space.
Random disbursement of sound reflections greatly improves sound quality and consistency for the listener. That’s why Kinetics Geometric Diffusers are perfect for band and choral rehearsal rooms and performance spaces. The shaped surfaces of the Diffusers break up direct sound reflections and disburse them evenly throughout the listening space. Auditoriums will benefit with the use of Diffusers on the rear and side walls.
Available in two standard shapes, offset pyramidal and radius, Geometric Diffusers are commonly used in conjunction with Kinetics’ acoustical wall panels; a combination of sound diffusion and absorption that greatly improves overall room acoustics. Kinetics’ Diffusers are also used in lay-in 15/16" standard grid ceilings.
Diffusers are provided in a white thermo-molded co-polymer. Optional painted surfaces are available as approved by the factory. All Radius and Pyramidal Diffusers are available with an optional fabric facing using factory approved materials.

Acoustical Performance
Per ASTM C423. Thermo-mold plastic units.
| Frequency, Hz | 125 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 | 4000 | NRC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Mounting (Flush to Wall) | 0.48 | 0.12 | 0.10 | 0.05 | 0.03 | 0.03 | 0.10 |
| E400 Mounting | 0.36 | 0.15 | 0.09 | 0.07 | 0.05 | 0.10 | 0.10 |
| J Mounting (Flush to Wall, panel array staggered) with fiberglass fill and fabric facing | 1.11 | 0.43 | 0.34 | 0.24 | 0.18 | 0.19 | 0.30 |
Standard Thermo-Molded Co-Polymer Diffusers
Note: Actual width and length dimensions for all diffusers except the 4' x 6' model are 1/4" less than the nominal dimensions listed. This allows for installation in a lay-in ceiling grid.
Fire Class Rating
