acoustical diffusion

Acoustical diffusion refers to how sound waves spread out and scatter when they encounter surfaces or objects in a space. Instead of bouncing directly back or echoing clearly, diffusers break up the sound waves, dispersing them evenly. This creates a more balanced and natural sound environment by reducing sharp echoes and dead spots. Diffusers are often used in recording studios, concert halls, and listening rooms to improve sound quality, making the experience more accurate and pleasing by maintaining clarity while preserving some liveliness.
