 Note:  We no longer offer
                        this unit in kit form because it is actually
                        less expensive for us to offer it assembled.

                                    in our 24 x 24 x 3 inch diffuser.

                                  Designed to be used in
                                  groups. Can be fastened to wall
                                  surfaces, ceilings, or used with legs
                                  as free standing units. Perfect fit in
                                  drop ceilings. |  
                          | These units
                                  are made from solid wood and are available
fully
                                    assembled. 
 | You can
                                  finish these by either painting them,
                                  or in some cases covering them with
                                  speaker cloth.  To treat an area
                                  no less than two units are
                                  recommended. For this reason they are
                                  only sold in pairs. |

 | Using an
                                  array 3 units wide and between 2 and 3
                                  units high will nicely treat the rear
                                  wall where the most direct energy can
                                  be diffused.  This will reduce
                                  the severity of reflections that hit
                                  your other three walls. |  
                          | 
 | Another
                                  example of effective use of a minimum
                                  number of units is on either side wall
                                  directly across from the listening
                                  position.  It's a good place to
                                  start.  You can add more in the
                                  direction of your loudspeakers.
                                   Usually an array of 2 units in
                                  width and between 2 and 3 units in
                                  height are ideal for side wall
                                  applications. |  
                          | 
 | If you're
                                  primary concern is depth of sound
                                  stage, then probably the best place to
                                  start is the front wall behind your
                                  speakers. Reflections from all other
                                  walls eventually hit this critical
                                  spot and then pass by your ears a
                                  second time, - something you want to
                                  prevent if at all possible. |  
                          | 
 | This is
                                  considered and excellent set up.
                                   The effects of treating all four
                                  locations is cumulative.
                                   Reflections get diffused over
                                  and over. This arrangement uses a
                                  total of 9 units on the front wall, 6
                                  on the rear wall and 4 on each side
                                  wall. |  
                          | 
 | These units
                                  can be rotated.  Using them
                                  vertically as shown in the middle of
                                  this array, will diffuse sound into a
                                  horizontal pattern.  This is most
                                  effective on the center of walls where
                                  the reflections come from other walls. Rotating them
                                  for horizontal use will diffuse sound
                                  into a  vertical pattern.
                                   This is most effective near
                                  floors or ceilings.  The sample
                                  at the left shows a typical array one
                                  would use for complete floor to
                                  ceiling treatment. |  
                          | 
 | Even an
                                  arrangement like this can work if the
                                  walls without diffusers are soft (treated
                                    with hanging rugs for example) |  
                          | 
 | In
                                  free-standing applications you can
                                  experiment with a variety of
                                  placements.  Handy if you don't
                                  have lots of units or the wall space.
                                  Whenever arrays are free-standing, we
                                  recommend gluing the 12 inch acoustic
                                  foam tiles to the back.  This
                                  turns the back into a pure absorber.
                                   You can experiment with flipping
                                  the units around to hear and
                                  understand the
                                  differences between absorbing vs.
                                  diffusing sound. |

                                  you're in a basement listening room
                                  with a low ceiling, or any room that
                                  uses a suspended ceiling, you can make
                                  dramatic improvements by using these
                                  in patterns across your ceiling by
                                  simply placing them into the suspended
                                  ceiling grid instead of ceiling tiles.
