Good luck with that!  I'm guessing she's got you figured out by now...

Speaking of diffusers I've been making my own using the bbc schematic.

I got 5 of 8 done right now.  Honestly they're more for aesthetics than actual acoustics.  Two sets of 4 in groups-- each group having one each made from walnut, naturally grown heart redwood (impossible to get nowdays), pine and whitewood.

Amazing work.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Awesome. I actually have a plan to make about six of them and tell my wife they are artsy wall decorations.

Some of them are actually quite good looking...

Wow, looks all deer-in-the-headlights-y, as if his wife caught him gazing hungrily at his audio equipment in a way he never looked at her anymore.


This remains the coolest diffuser I've seen (from a studio guy on gearslutz):

Apparently hollow plastic blocks aren't particularly effective at lower frequencies.

Being hollow or not shouldn't matter, as long as the surface is reflective.  It's the depth of the wells that affects your lower frequency limit and the size of the blocks that affects your upper frequency limit.  If I remember correctly I made mine to be 6 inches deep and 1 inch wide for something about 500 to 5000hz?  I can't find the calculator right now.






Aaah nothing like freshly planed redwood all ready to go for a new diffuser.
