Construction of a Schroeder Diffuser.
I'm trying to find a diagram of a Schroeder Diffuser but cannot locate one anywhere. I've found references for them on your archives but no diagrams. I'm collaborating on the building of a small project studio, and would be very appreciative if you could help me out on this one.

Assistant Editor Debbie Poyser replies: Schroeder Diffusers are used in studio acoustic design and are stepped panels designed to spread reflections over a hemisphere. There's more information in the 'Control Room Design' article from SOS January 1997, plus an equation (below) for calculating the depths of the panel's 'wells' (d=depth; w=well number; n=prime number on which the sequence is based; L=wavelength of lowest operating frequency), and a diagram. The article is on the SOS web site (https://web.archive.org/web/2015..." target="mainframe), but you won't find the diagram on the site, so we're reprinting it here for you.
