The Triffusor® is a rotatable equilateral triangle
prism with absorptive, reflective, and diffusive sides
Variable Acoustics
The Triffusor® was developed to make completely variable
acoustics a reality. Triffusor® modules can be arranged
adjacent to one another in a linear array so that they form a surface
of any desired acoustical character. These arrays combine the basic
acoustical building blocks of absorption, diffusion, and reflection.
With the Triffusor®, small rooms take on a flexibility not
possible before. You can easily adapt to the requirements of a
particular situation and not be locked into a fixed acoustical
environment. Even large rooms can be made more versatile by using
movable Triffusor® partitions or gobos to alter the localized
acoustics. The Triffusor® can also be flush mounted to form a
variable acoustics wall.
The effect of almost any acoustical treatment on the binaural
perception and enjoyment of music can easily be demonstrated by
applying Triffusors® along the walls and corners of a room. One
can experience the effect of early reflections on stereo imaging and
frequency coloration, the difference between the sensation of high
localization and high spaciousness in a listening situation, the
correlations between spaciousness and lateral diffuse reflections, and
the benefits of a diffused rear wall.

Installation
Triffusors® should be mounted on a platform with height
adjustments to compensate for floor irregularity. Rotation can be
accomplished by using a quarter inch dowel or "lazy susan" type bearing
to connect the center of the Triffusor® base and the mounting
plinth.
Dowel holes and bearings should be positioned so that
Triffusor® modules meet at their edges when in position.
Mounting hardware is not supplied. Triffusors® can also be
stacked atop one another when taller columns are needed

Applications
The Triffusor® is a variable acoustics module which can be used
anywhere a versatile acoustical environment is required: Recording and
broadcast studios, voiceover booths, orchestra pits, TV and film
shooting stages, acoustical set designs, rehearsal rooms, home
listening rooms, sampling and Foley rooms, audiophile dealer showrooms,
music education and psychoacoustics laboratories, CD and other media
evaluation rooms.
