QRD placement, grouping and orientation




Hi Guys,

I’m looking for some advice on QRD set up.

I’m setting up a 2 channel listening room and would like to know which of the two alternative rear diffuser arrays would work best on the attached JPEG.

The plan with the diffusers directly behind the listening position seems the most conventional and would allow me to use 24 inch QRD diffuors grouped in fours which I understand to be the best way to use QRDs.

The plan with the angled diffusers to the side only allows either three 24 inch QRDs or reducing them down to 18 inch losing some lower frequency diffusion. The thing I like about this set up is the absorption behind the listening position should give clearer imaging (something I particularly like). It also should act as a bass absorber with bass passing into the large room behind.

(The BAD panels on the sides are a necessary alterative to QRDs due to lack of space.)
Any help would be appreciated.

Mark
