An acoustic diffuser is a device or acoustic structure designed to appropriately scatter sound waves in rooms. Any element placed on a flat wall of a room or an irregular structure of that surface can serve as an acoustic diffuser. Thanks to them, sound will be dispersed, and sound waves will reduce their energy. This way, one can avoid troublesome acoustic defects such as echo, flutter echo, or reverb.
On the market, one can also find professional acoustic diffusers, which are used in concert halls, lecture rooms, theaters, operas, cinemas, and recording studios. Sound diffusers are also successfully installed in residential spaces. Thanks to acoustic diffusers, the quality of perceived sound improves, and the frequency of the room is balanced. At the same time, this does not affect the shortening of reverberation, which is very important for proper room acoustics. Wall and ceiling panels can also serve as acoustic diffusers.
