Our unique patented polycylindrical design wood diffusor (US Pat. 8,960,367) will increase the focus and the dynamic quality of your listening room by preventing the middle and the high frequency from bouncing around in it, uncontrolled.
Our wood diffuser panels prove to be effective even when they are situated at only a few inches of distance. For example, this allows them to be used on a wall situated directly behind the listening position where other types of diffusor would not work properly (if not at all).
That is because most other types of diffusor (quadratic, cylindrical and Schroeder) need to be situated at a few feet of distance, usually 6 feets or more in order to be fully effective.
Our unique design will control the sound wave's reflexions, without colouring the sound of your room. Our panels will not add any audible sonic signature of their own.
Usually, most acoustical treatment works by substraction (product like acoustic foam and fibreglass, but most other type of diffusor will also absorb at least some of the energy), that means that both the sound wave's information and the energy that it contains are being absorbed. The result is an unnatural and/or somewhat "dead" sounding room that can't respect trueness of timbre.
Our wood diffusor effectively treat the problematic sound waves but reflect the energy back into the room, creating natural, open and fatigue free listening environment.

...the diffusion created by the Infinity panels does seem to me to be quite effective in countering the effect of a reflective wall. I also found it interesting that even when the Infinity panels were placed as close as a foot behind me, the sense of stereo depth from my monitors seemed to increase, as the diffuse energy bouncing back to me produced a heightened sense of ambience, making the distance to the wall behind difficult or impossible to judge...» «
...but unlike most products they produce a beneficial effect even when used fairly close to the listening position. They're also the most attractive pieces of acoustic treatment we've been sent to date...»

As the experiment has clearly demonstrated (see recording and graph) the Sound Momentum diffuser panels exhibit a convincing performance by reducing and breaking up medium and high frequency sound waves...» «
...the clarity index, definition, spatiality, and the inter-aural cross correlation (IACC), all of these indices are improved, meaning that the acoustic treatment improves the quality of the room...» «

Diffusion prevents the return of sound waves by breaking them up into small pieces that are distributed in all directions. The energy contained in the wave is still present in the room, but it has lost its coherence and the brain cannot decode any information from it anymore. I've designed my diffusers to break up sound into even smaller pieces, allowing the panels to be used at a closer distance than conventional diffusers design that usually require a minimum distance of six feet or more to be fully effective, making them difficult to use in a normal room like a living room or a listening room...»
