Audio diffuser

@ghdprentice and @rocray - yes, I will report once I’ve done what @tomic601 said, cut trail…try it out…

@knighttodd - you may not have the tools right now, but a straight edge and a jigsaw or a power saw and straight edge, will get timber cut up cheaply. Some inexpensive clamps from your local hardware and tightbond glue, screws or nails and you're in business!

Obviously, only if this experiment leaves you wanting to try something else.

ATS Acoustics have some affordable diffuser products. I recently bought a custom 62” x 17” x 2” fire rated absorber from them - order to delivery was < 10 days… No business relationship, just happy customer….

@rixthetrick we are on the same page. Front wall behind the speakers 

.

With the trays it would be about 54 inches tall and 36 inches wide behind each speaker.

What is the size and layout of your room? Is it dedicated for listening and where is your listening position? 

I think you have a great plan. How did you determine the size of the diffusion panels? I started with 2 panels behind speakers and i used absorbion in both corners. My room isn't very wide and I found that one panel between the speakers worked better.

My room is 14x22x8. Speakers are about 19in off the front wall 1.5 from side wall.  I sit 13 feet from the speakers. They are not toed in. i have a fantastic sound stage with 90% of sound coming from the center. It's just on some music the treble gets a little hot on my ears. Bass can be a little weak at times. Thats why I  thought just the 2" depth. Just enough to break up the high notes.
