Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion.


I am looking for sound diffusion panels for placement on my ceiling. They need to be lightweight (no holes in the ceiling) effective and reasonably priced. No more then $80 panel or so for 2X2 feet. Like to actually spend less.

I have seen products by RPG - Skyline and Auralex - T-Fusers. The Skyline is to pricey. Not sure about those plastic looking T-Fusers.

I have good absorption and simply want to mix in a few diffusers on my ceiling and perhaps behind my speakers replacing absorption panels now there. The side walls and wall behind me have good absorption. I also have floor to ceiling bass traps behind the speakers in the corners of the room.

My sound is very good, but I feel this could be a nice final room touch. Perhaps helping out things when music is played very loudly which I like to do at times.

The room is 24 feet by 18 feet with 8 foot ceilings. You can see my room as part of my virtual system.

My speakers are out 7 feet from the front wall.

Thanks for your help.

Go over to subwoofer-builder.com . They have an extensive article on DIY QRD and Skyline style diffusors. The Skyline styles are quite easy to DIY and will cost far less than your target price of $80 each.
I forgot to ad that pmerecords.com also has plan for a DIY Skyline QRD and a link to a calculator for specific freq designs. The calcultor is part of a larger site that also has calculators to design all the different diffuser styles.
Sorry for beating this to death, but I found the original site that I wanted to mention. mh-audio.nl ,acoustic calculators galore for DIY. Go to the online calculator section, not the download section. You will find all the info that you need to desigh, have fun!
