Woody Skyline: Sculpted Wood. Scattered Sound.
Every diffuser is custom made with a wooden varnish according to your request
Elevate your acoustic environment and aesthetic with the Woody Skyline, a two-dimensional acoustic diffuser that is part art, part engineering marvel. This flagship product is a premium, made-to-measure solution designed for the even scattering of higher frequencies, instantly enhancing the liveliness and soundstage of any room.
The Science Behind the Silhouette
The Woody Skyline’s effectiveness is rooted in advanced mathematical modeling, based on calculations using primitive root numbers (PRD)—a design pioneered and patented by Peter D'Antonio and John Konnert in 1995. Its iconic, varying-height silhouette, which recalls a skyline with skyscrapers, is not merely aesthetic; it is precisely calculated to optimize sound scatter.
Instantly Enhanced Listening Experience: Achieve a superior, more detailed soundstage and an immersive, spacious sound field.
Mathematical Precision: Design based on rigorous acoustic theory to ensure guaranteed diffusion efficiency across a broad frequency spectrum.
Super-Premium Craftsmanship: As Primitive Root Diffusers are extremely demanding on hand manufacturing—often taking days to produce a single one—they are considered premium products made only on request.
Absorber vs. Diffuser: The Clever Difference
Acoustic treatments fall into two main categories:
Absorbers take in sound energy when sound waves hit them and transform it into heat, thus controlling echo and decay time.
Diffusers do the exact opposite in a more clever way: they evenly distribute the sound waves into the room by scattering them from their irregular surface. By creating an even diffuse field, diffusers maintain the sound energy in the room, making the music feel spacious and lively.
Note on Efficiency: Not every irregular surface is an effective diffuser. Only mathematically calculated diffusers like the Woody Skyline have a projected effective range and can be designed to work on specific frequencies. A rugged wall, for example, will provide only random, non-uniform scattering.
Designing Your Diffuser Array
To maximize the acoustic benefit, diffusers need sufficient size and often placement in an array:
Optimal Array: The highest diffusion effect is achieved when placing five or more diffusers next to each other, creating an array that can scatter as much energy as possible.
Minimal Impact: If your total diffusion panel array is less than one meter wide, you will likely not hear a substantial difference.
Where to Place Diffusers:
Side Walls and Ceiling: Used on first reflection points to preserve more liveliness than pure absorbers and to eliminate flutter echoes. The goal is to prevent energy from being reflected directly at the listening position from the bare walls.
Front Wall: Suitable for audiophiles adding extra spaciness. Opposite walls covered by arrays can create an "endless space" effect.
Start Your Custom Project
The Woody Skyline is a bespoke product based on your request for the approximate size and targeted effectiveness, then calculated precisely according to PRD theory. It is crucial to follow this plan to ensure the final diffuser reaches its projected potential.
