Diffuser decision for ceiling
Would like to get some feedback and info.
Trying to stick with Vicoustic products since its more easily available here in Canada.
My room is 19 x 14 and the ceiling height is just shy of 7 1/2 ft. (7 "4 roughly).
I already have acoustic panels setup in the room. I already have plans to add diffusion in the back and front walls based on recommendations.
The last piece I'm missing is the ceiling.
I kind of rushed and had bought a used set of Vicoustic Multifuser DC2 in order to use. My plan was to install 3 in one line covering the Left, Center and Right channel speakers first reflection point on the ceiling.
However, after using ChatGPT, googling and got some advice from a local store, they said that I would be better off using the Vicoustic VicPattern Ultra Wavewood MKII. Both DC2 and Wavewood would be installed flush to the ceiling.
Chatgpt suggested leaving 2-4 inches spacing in between them versus having them stuck all together.
What does everyone think? Before I invest in the ceiling installation.
I have floor standing speakers SF Olympica III and my center is a SF Sonetto CII. Let me know if more info is needed, thanks
Thanks @doug033 , which option did you take with Vicoustic for the analysis, I was debating this as well! Definitely need to get on that REW then. I will need to use some forums for help understanding the results though. So lots to learn. I definitely want to keep the ceiling mounting to a minimum if i can If possible as to not have to hang too many panels.
Also, how high is your ceiling? |
I mounted Cinema Rounds and DC3s on the ceiling using one square inch pieces of 3M DualLock, one piece in the center and one in each corner. For the Cinema Rounds, I cut and glued 22” squares of Plaskolite 0.157-inch x 48-inch x 96-inch White Corrugated Plastic Sheet (Home Depot) to the back of the Cinema Rounds to give the DualLock something to stick to. Used a laser to line things up.

@doug033 Thanks! yeah i was debating between the 99 or 200, definitely not the 500, that would be way too much with the conversion from EUR to CAD. thanks |
Your limiting factor in any direction is the low ceiling. You might be OK with 2D diffusors if they are away from your listening location, but I would not chance it. Go with horizontal diffusors as much as you can. Also, GIK has combination diffusor/absorber panels you can use which can be covered and even have artwork put on them. |
