Conventional
acoustic treatments have relied on absorption for reflection
control. Unfortunately, this can “deaden” the room and
make it unsuitable for speech or music. Diffusive ceilings
are one of the most effective ways to simultaneously control
room reflections and provide a natural ambiance.
The Omniffusor™ uniformly
scatters sound arriving from any direction into many directions,
providing ideal distribution and coverage. It’s unique
shape creates an attractive, visually interesting acoustical
surface.

Problem
Specular reflections
from flat, hard surfaces cause strong reflections that
corrupt speech intelligibility and degrade music quality.
Typically, fabric wrapped absorptive panels are used to
control interfering reflections, with the undesirable
side effect of deadening the space.
Solution
The Omniffusor™ is the first 2D QRD®. It offers twice
the reflection attenuation of the 1D QRD®, because it
scatters sound uniformly into a hemisphere. The Omniffusor™
provides uniform, omnidirectional, broad bandwidth diffusion
in an attractive ceiling or wall design element.
 Absorption
(CLICK
GRAPH TO VIEW)
While the primary function of the Omniffusor™ is to
provide broad bandwidth diffusion, it also offers a
modest and beneficial amount of absorption across the
frequency spectrum with a small emphasis at about 800Hz.
 Diffusion
(CLICK GRAPH TO VIEW)
The Omniffusor™ offers significant diffusion compared
to a flat reflector panel above the diffraction limit
of 565 Hz, which is determined by the dimensions of
the panel. Above this frequency, the graph indicates
how the reference reflector
becomes more and more specular as the frequency increases,
whereas the Omniffusor™ provides a constant diffusivity.

INSTALLED
Wooden Omniffusors™ can be wall
mounted. For wall installation, plexiglass Omniffusors™
should be flush mounted into a framed opening. Decorative
trim can be added to conceal the perimeter joint.
