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.
