No confusion with this diffusion

If you've got lots of love in your studio, but it's hard to catch because the love is bouncing uncontrollably off the walls, then start taming the love with these diffusion panels. Not just the domain of the base-jumping Lego man, these panels can help you mix with greater accuracy by getting rid of nasty slap back echo.
When high frequency room reflections arrive at your listening position simultaneously the effect can blunt the stereo image. Your mix appears ill-defined, murky and you must make drastic EQ adjustments to hear any difference at all.
Solution: scatter that sound. In doing so your surface reflections arrive more randomly and therefore do not confuse your brain. Enter the diffusion panel; a wall (usually the one at the opposite end of the room to your speakers) properly diffused will make your room sound like you are wearing your headphones - from a spatial perspective, that is.
We've got a nice big bunch, but surely they won't last too long at this price. Vital statistics (all measurements in mm): each panel is 600 x 600, the base is 20 high. From top of base to top of tallest peak is 150. Dimension of all towers vary, but 40 x 45 is a good average. Available in any colour that suits your studio (DIY paintjob required), or just use them white, as is to save time and get on with making the magic.
