As mentioned in my earlier posting....repaint & redecorate the dining room. Ok, the wall was given a new coat of paint ....kind of orange. The dining chairs were replaced with white ones and the side table was also replaced. Some decorative pieces were added on....of course white as well. So far its still work in progress.
For the living room aka audio room, the acoustic foam diffuser will soon be replaced with a better diffuser. There are many types of diffuser available in the audiophile world...from a few dollars to a few thousands depending on the design and material used.
In theory, sound diffuser improves the acoustics of the room.
Sound waves hitting a flat wall rebound off at the same angle, meaning
that the sound is not evenly spread throughout the room. The uneven
surface of a diffuser breaks up the sound waves hitting it and reflects
them at various angles around the room, helping to diffuse the sound.
As I am a DIY person, I will be making my own diffuser. The design by Tim Perry from Argen Acoustic seems DIYable with drawings and measurement available from his website. So last week end, I bought some cut out wooden pieces from the local lumber yard enough for 5 units of Tim's stepped diffuser. And today, I managed to finish the first unit.
