Securing Vicoustic Diffusors to my sheet rock wall/ceiling.

I just received my 6 pack of these in black. I have propped them up on a low wood board to get a taste of what they do, and I'm very impressed. Music just sounds less constricted, with images floating a tad more free from speakers. More open, and organic... I never liked Absorption @ the Side Reflection point, but this is what I was hoping for from these panels. So, as the title above suggests, what should I use to secure these? I would like to go as light duty as possible, leaving flexibility to play with positioning in the near future. Cheers -Don

That's what I was thinking about, like the 3M picture hanging putty. The thought is go light duty, and see if that sufficient. Thanks to all so far!

Be careful with the glue or putty---the styrofoam the diffusers are made of can be dissolved by some chemicals! Ask Vicoustic for advice.

100%- Thanks Bdp24. I guess they are between importers, so they may not have representation in the US at the moment. Better safe indeed. Hmm- wonder if that 3M putty type stuff has chemicals. I wouldn't imagine it does, but not sure. It reminds me of Blu-Tak, but I think a bit harder/denser, less chewing gum like.

The PI Audio Group makes their diffusers out of the same material. Give them a call for glue advice.

Hi, I have used the 3M Command Large Picture Hanging Strips on my Multifuser DC2s on a wall >1 year without issue. I used four per panel, though I might have been able to get away with fewer because they are so light. I wanted to be able to reposition easily them in future, though I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.
