If you use 2" min of the 703 panels - with 2" min between them and the ceiling - the cloud will do you just fine.......

Diffusion is a super cool thing but you most of the time not on first (early) reflections points. It is best to use in the back of the room if you are a good 6 or more feet from it.

Here is a little about diffusion and how it works.

Thanks for the article Glenn. I've been wondering about some different diffusor designs. I'm going to have some leftover lumber so i'm thinking why not recylce and turn the leftovers into diffusion.

heck yes, go for it.

Diffusion question!
I just got a hold of a bunch (hundreds) of wine corks. Could they be used as a helpful/functioning cloud diffusion above my mixing seat? I have a skyline diffusion wall behind me, but since I have the cork I'm thinking they could both absorb and diffuse? Thoughts?
Thanks, Manfred
