BXI Wood Sound Diffuser - 24 X 24 X 2.8 Inches Thick Acoustic Diffusion Panels Add Listening Room Musical Liveliness, Quadratic Residue Diffusor for Wall and Ceiling Acoustical Treatment (1D)

Great product, I bought 10 of them!

some have reported production flaws in this item. The four I purchased were very well made and have no obvious flaws. Light weight and easy to hang. They do center the image and diffuse the sound into a broad soundstage. I feel they work and will get a few more in the future to add to the array. This item does not deaden the sound and that is not its purpose. It reflects in a way to disperse highly directional images and set them in their proper place. If you have a good system and are still not happy, try this next.

Without taking measurements hard to say if this is diffusing sound but it's well made, albeit a couple corner joints are a bit off, but it's all wood and has some heft to it. Wood is natural and could easily be stained. Note there are no mounting brackets so I bought a large saw bracket and works great. Also this is not a square 24" each side. Price is reasonable as these can cost much more. Fast shipping. Looks cool too

For over two decades now I have been doing dedicated Home theater and music room acoustical consultation with many installers in my local area. For years I have used RPG products for acoustical control which are quite expensive. I was tasked with finding acoustical products that are more value oriented for their clients with lower budgets without giving up performance and build quality. I ran across BXI Sound Diffusor, and decided I would give it a try. I would not call this a diffusion panel, but a scattering panel. Diffusion requires wells that have different depths and are much deeper as well. As a scattering device, they are excellent at making a hard localized reflection into many tiny reflections that are less perceptively noticeable to the ear. For those of you DIYers looking to build your home theater on a budget, this a must-have product to fine-tune the acoustical performance of your room. Rather than using absorption panels for my first reflection points, I used these instead. I had a bad lateral wall slap echo, and these panels eliminated it without removing energy from the room. The scattering this product offers allows for a more natural-sounding room that is not overly dead. I highly recommend this product and BXI's great customer service as well.

Simple and wooden but works as a rear wall diffuser allowing more precision in vocals and music.

I placed two panels about 3ft high behind my listening chair and it improved the sound in a way that subtle sound cues that wasn’t apparent before became more pronounced. Echoes and reverb on the recording became more fleshed out.

Impressed for the price. A decent small diffuser / scatterer.

I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. These are fantastic for the price. The pieces of wood will have imperfections, and because of this I'd recommend buying the 1D diffuser. Look at the pictures in other reviews and you'l see what I mean, the 1D has a simpler construction that lends itself more to this budget quality level. I'm not knocking a star off for the imperfection in the wood, because I'm surprised they exist at all at this price point, and it is well worth the small compromise for the money saved. They are cheap enough you can put them in an array to achieve 2d diffusion anyways. I started with 2, but I will buy 4 more to make a 2x3 diffuser on the back wall of my mixing space at some point. Oh, also you can hang also these with large command strips (I used 6 instead of 4 though, adding 2 in the middle) *Edit* It works better and cheaper to buy XL command strips and use 4

It is of good quality.. and Im satisfied.. One of the boards came in broken and I returned it..

I have four panels on the rear wall. My goal was to eliminate flutter echo and these panels did the job at a reasonable price. I also have absorption panels on the side walls and “bass” traps in the front corners. To retain acoustic liveliness I didn’t add absorption to the front and rear of my listening position. Now with quadratic diffusion on the rear wall, when I clap the sound quickly dissipates. My studio still retains the musical energy and liveliness I crave. As others have observed, visually they don’t appear to be hand crafted in the USA. In fact the panels are from China, so you have to be okay with that. You can find a USA alternative (not on Amazon) if you want to pay the price. Finally, USA panels from a company that specialize in sound state you need quadratics 11 inches deep for diffusion below 400hz. So unless Amazon has had an independent lab test the frequency range, I don’t trust what has been stated on their site.

Good Item, well made

These are great. I used them in my small control room and love how good they reduced reflections. Would like to buy again but they aren’t on Amazon no more…

Received the diffusers. One was damaged most likely due to poor handling by delivery. One side had both corners dented in. Maybe a little better protection in packing would prevent this ?. There are differences in color of the wood but that is expected and makes them unique in a way. I can't tell as of yet if they do make a difference as I have not had the time to listen. I took the advice of a previous poster. I used the XL command strips ( 4 ) for each panel and they hold the diffuser with no issues at all. I would say In all these are a good value and I like the wood finish.
