diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose?


If you could only use one acoustical treatment in a room and you’d have to cover most of the walls and leave ceiling untreated, would you pick all diffuser or all absorption panels?

As already suggested, watch the YT videos mentioned.

I used a combination of absorption and diffusion, alternating panels, and keeping 1-2 feet between them. I went with only absorption panels on the front wall and diffusion/absorption on the back wall.  Alternating diffusion and absorption on the side walls.   Bass traps in the upper room corners.  None on the ceiling. It’s made a huge difference in my 12’ x 20’ x 8’ room. Used only for home theater. There is much better clarity in movies, better dialogue, much tighter bass and overall a more immersive experience.
