QRD 734 acoustic diffuser
qrd734 acoustic diffuser

  • It's wide bandwidth, low cost, and broad selection of finishes make it a logical choice for music education facilities, recording studios, worship spaces, auditoriums, theaters, and performing arts facilites.

  • This one dimensional diffusor is a modular, computer designed phase grating which produces a directional hemidisc polar response that can be oriented in any direction.

  • It also provides low frequency absorption below the design bandwidth due to the RPG pressure gradient mechanism.


    • Problem and Solution

    Problem
    Interfering reflections that degrade speech intelligibility, gain before feedback, and music quality can be controlled by absorption and diffusion. Since commercial surfaces that provided uniform diffusion over a wide frequency range and for all angles of incidence were not available, absorption was used solely to control reflections. This treatment created “dead” spaces.

    Solution
    The QRD 734 is a quadratic residue acoustic diffusor based on mathematical number theory. Now a predictable diffusive surface treatment is readily available.


    Performance

    Diffusion
    Compared to a flat reflector panel, the QRD 734 offers significant diffusion above the diffraction limit of 565Hz, which is equal to the speed of sound (1130ft/sec) divided by the 2' dimension of the panel. As the frequency increases above 565Hz, the graph indicates how the reference reflector becomes more and more specular, whereas the QRD 734 provides a uniform diffusivity.

    The wooden QRD® 734 or plexiglass Diviewsor contribute minimal absorption. The low cost Kydex Formedffusor is designed to provide additional low frequency absorption.
    Installation
    The QRD 734 is typically mounted on a cleat and secured. For installations that require a flush mount the units should be framed out much like an opening for a window.
