AD-2 Kit
Core Audio Designs has formulated a highly effective Diffusor based on the scientific formula developed by Manfred R. Schroeder of the University of Göttingen in Germany 1970’s.
Perhaps the most difficult to overcome enemy of fine audio reproduction is the room itself! The acoustic signature of any room is compromised by a swept comb-filter effect where peaks and notches are produced in the resultant frequency spectrum in linear harmonic series due to audio being reflected unevenly from walls.
Why use diffusion?
The Core Diffusor uniformly scattered sound. Diffusors are used to reduce or eliminate repetitive echoes that occur in rooms having parallel walls and a flat ceiling. Although there are different philosophies about how much natural reverberation listening rooms should have, all professional studio designers agree that periodic reflections caused by parallel walls should be avoided.
Diffusor designs use an irregular surface having a complex pattern to scatter the sound waves thoroughly. Diffusor scatters sound waves in different directions based on their frequency, rather than merely redirecting all waves in the same direction. Diffusor avoids direct reflections altogether and thus has a much more open, transparent, and natural sound than a simple flat surface. In fact, sound diffusion greatly widens the “sweet spot” and lends a strong, 3D sense of openness to a room, making it easier to hear “into” the music. Diffusion eliminates standing waves and flutter echoes without removing acoustic energy from the space or greatly changing the frequency content of the sound.
Core “AD” series acoustic diffusors are constructed from solid hardwood.
