DIY Acoustic Diffusers


Anybody had success building these? Commercially built, they sell for a small fortune. So, I'm hoping some A-Goners have applied a little ingenuity and can recommend how I can buld some for my music room.

How about this site for reference:

Also, the Auralex metrofusers aren't hugely expensive, but they need to be covered somehow since they are made of Styrofoam and are butt ugly on their own. They are not based on the formula above though. They have varied widths as well as depths.

Lastly, simply PVC tubes might be an option, but there is no real data to support them. Perhaps look up "room lenses" and you'll find something. The room lenses could also be seen as helmholtz resonators too...but I am no acoustician - that I am certain about!
