    This is exactly the type of video I've been searching for! Excellent information and presented in such a way as my ignorant self can easily understand. I recently turned an unused living room into a home media room but was lost as far as how to "treat" the room for sound. Thank you so much for making this video!

    Also note that our furniture and décor are also part of the treatment process (eg placement of our carpet, wall paintings, curtains, etc.). When we talk inside an empty room we hear a lot of echoes. Once the room is filled with furniture, the echoes are reduced to the minimum because our sofas and paintings absorb some sound reflections. Great and informative video!

    Terrific visuals. Sound treating any home theatre is so important. Recording studios already have it done usually. Obvious reasons. But in HT's most people ignore it. Before that they ignore or are unable to "sound suppress" the HT room to keep sound in the room. So they can turn up the volume high as they like any time w/o annoying neighbours or waking the baby (iif have one or more...ofc)... Never seen curved "diffuser" panels. But clearly they work.

    He doesn't do that great of a job.. His idea of Diffusion is not that accurate. Quadratic diffusors are far superior to that of those semi-round reflectors. There's actually a video that Ethan Winer did that demonstrates different types of surfaces. It's about the only video of Ethan's that I feel is worth watching, though. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJZnkqWCc6qcaMY.html However, the company that I've found the best acoustic Treatment is Acoustic Fields. They have the best low frequency absorption products. They have hundreds of short videos you should check out. I took some time and looked at practically every low frequency absorption device available and Acoustic Fields ACDA 12 measured the best. Even better than RPG's more expensive Modex units and everything else. The reason is they have deep diaphragmatic cabinets with dual wall and they use the most porous substance (activated carbon) that's densely packed internally. I visited a test lab they had about 6 years ago and I haven't heard low frequency absorption done anywhere near as well as they had.. They actually have low frequency absorption that's effective down to 30hz. Look at the measurements for the absorption coefficients before you buy ANYTHING. those round diffusors? They aren't really diffusors and in order for them to act more like a diffusor you need a bunch of them. But they are more sound redirection units. the problem with Quadratic is just figuring out the distance, which Prime number to use and having enough distance between the listener and the diffusors. so in really small rooms, you have to have enough distance for Quadratic to work properly. But those actually conform to the requirements of a true diffusor. Those round things don't.

    Acoustical deflectors redirect sound unevenly toward one or more directions, and usually consist of one or more flat surfaces angled to direct sound to the specific direction(s) desired. Constant-radius (cylindrical) curved-surface sound diffusors spread out sound energy reflections evenly over a range of different angles - Acoustic Geometry Curve Diffusors are cylindrical and have a range of about 120 degrees (1/3 of a full circle) of arc, or sound spread, and can be arranged to diffuse sound energy in horizontal through to vertical planes. Curve Diffusors are phase-coherent as well. Thanks for your question!
