A QRD diffuser comprises wells of different depths, causing a mixture of phase shifts that diffuse reflected sound. They are used to control reflections in the listening environment. At Hifi Creations we have decided to go for a more complex built and broad-range design. The diffuser is a 17-root with a range from 500Hz – 6800Hz(broad-band as opposed to narrow-band)
Not all diffusers are created equal!
A. The well width determines the upper frequency limit of diffusion. The narrower the well, the higher the frequency it will diffuse.
B. The deepest well in the sequence determines the diffuser’s lower limit. The QRD N17 deep well design is effective down to 500Hz.
C. The higher the prime number sequence, the more even and smooth diffusion will be throughout the audio spectrum.
Advantages of QRD N17 broad-band:
1. add width to your sound stage, so your music will sound like it is coming from farther left and farther right of your actual speaker positions
2. effectively reduce flutter echoes and standing waves
3. excellent alternative to sound absorption(foam type) because they do not remove sound energy, hence ‘live sounding room’ as opposed to ‘dead room’
4. add sense of ‘air’ and retains natural ambience
5. giving the impression of being in a much larger room
Applications: home hifi, high-end home theater, recording studio, performance venues
Conclusion:
in a well treated acoustic room, you can hear everything the artist and engineer intended you to hear when they made the recording together. This experience will bring you closer to the artist and give you a far more visceral listening experience than you ever imagined possible.
