Acoustic sound diffusion keeps sound waves from grouping, so there are no hot spots or nulls in a room. Sound diffusion greatly widens the “sweet spot” and lends a strong, 3D sense of openness to a room, making it easier to hear “into” a mix. Diffusion obliterates standing waves and flutter echoes without simply removing acoustic energy from the space or greatly changing the frequency content of the sound. Acoustic sound diffusion can make a small space seem large and a large space seem even larger.
Sound Diffusers are used to remove standing waves and echoes in a space without removing sound energy. Sound Diffusers work by breaking up sound waves and reflecting them in many directions thus created an acoustic diffusive space that sounds “live” and open. Sound Diffusers are most often used in conjunction with absorption panels to treat music rooms, band rooms, and concert halls.
OELEX Barrel Diffusers are constructed of high strength reinforced fiberglass molded in a one piece barrel shape and are available in a white gel-coat finish or optional fabric covered. Barrel diffusers are tuned to scatter mid to high frequencies and trap bass in any location, and can be installed on walls or ceilings. Some manufacturers construct their barrel diffusers by thermoforming plastic. While these diffusers have the same shape and appearance, they are too light and tend to resonate.

OELEX Pyramid Diffusers are perfect for applications that require a high degree of sound diffusion, such as music rooms, band rooms, and concert halls. Pyramid diffusers quickly and easily eliminate floor to ceiling standing waves, reducing flutter and echo. They are lightweight and easy to install in a standard ceiling grid or can be installed on walls with a 2 part clip system.
OELEX Pyramid Diffusers are constructed of high strength reinforced fiberglass molded in a one piece pyramid shape. Pyramid diffusers are finely tuned to reflect sound and are available in a standard white gel-coat finish or optional fabric covered. Some manufacturers construct their pyramid diffusers by thermoforming plastic. While these diffusers have the same shape and appearance, they are too light and tend to resonate.
