The new, 'ultra-thin' sound diffuser is 10 times thinner than the widely used diffusers found in recording studios, concert venues and movie theaters to reduce echoes and improve the quality of sound.

In places such as recording studios, movie theaters or concert halls, the walls are covered in panels that minimize echoes by scattering sound waves. Known as sound diffusers, they tend to be quite ...

The device, created by technologists from North Carolina State University, also promises to require less material. This leads to a reduced cost as well as taking up far less space than diffusers ...

Researchers in China and the US have developed an ultra-thin sound diffuser that is 10 times thinner than diffusers used extensively to reduce echoes and improve sound quality. The new design ...

A microscale diffuser on the transducer that produces the ultrasound waves is built based on the Schroeder diffuser–the best sound diffuser mathematical models can provide. This is the same math that ...
