Start with your setup

Diffusion redistributes reflections rather than simply removing energy. Determine whether the room has enough space for the design to work as intended. Compare manufacturer data and placement guidance with a specific acoustic problem.

Choose for the session

Keep the source, monitoring path, and room consistent when comparing options. The broader acoustic treatment guide explains how this category fits the rest of the studio.
