My idea is to design a sound diffuser for the interior of my designed auditorium. The feel of the space can be contributed to the design of these items as they create a dramatic visual effect once applied to the interior. The designs I have been looking at are related to extensive research for a commercial, generic diffuser. Next I have to make a series of maquettes to think and analyse the joins and the profile of the diffusing system. The information I have been following, suggests pyramid or quadratic style designs formed with a lightweight construction.
"A sound diffuser is not to be mixed up with sound absorber. While a sound absorber absorbs the audio-waves, the sound diffuser sends the audio-waves in many different directions. This is good if you don't want an entirely dry room, but want some sound reflections for recording, say, drums.The more expensive diffusers sends audio waves in different direction based on frequency" wikipedia.
"The QRD® 734 Diffusor has proven to be a versatile general purpose diffusor. It’s uniform scattering, wide bandwidth, and broad selection of finishes make it a logical choice for almost any speech, critical listening, or performance facility.... Class A fire rating, light weight, impact resistance, and color and texture options",

'Sound diffusors may be too heavy for some ceiling application - or too expensive for large scale coverage'. There is a need for lightweight, cost effective sound diffuser.
