Well, not exactly… It is true that sound bounces (reflects) off of walls and objects with which it comes in contact, but those initial reflections (dubbed primary reflections) are but a momentary occurrence. Rather than focusing on the […]

I agree that direct dampening is very effective at negating a sound wave reflection & sound control as seen in the anechoic […]

DIFFUSION               Too much Diffusion = Mass Confusion! Engineers in the industry have spent 75 years developing ways to better “kill” the response of the room or listening environment. Then they decided it would be best to design inert speaker cabinets and fill them with polyfill dampening materials. Diffusion, […]
