Portugese acoustic treatment specialist Artnovion has announced its Aries series of diffuser products, created specifically for professional audio applications.

The Aries Diffuser design uses a variety of diffusion techniques and claims ‘a clear advance in performance over a traditional quadratic diffuser design’. Inspired by traditional numeric sequence diffusers, it is composed of asymmetrical multi-depth wells, in which specific wells use a folded-depth technique to boost the mid-low diffusion range of the panel.

While the panel itself is only 60mm thick, the extended wells on the diffuser are designed to be effective at 160Hz and 400Hz, with a linear diffusion pattern from 700Hz upwards, delivering previously unavailablediffusion capacity for its size.

The asymmetric wells are also arranged in an optimised sequence to prevent lobing when used in larger arrays. According to Artnovion, ‘this design feature – in combination with the extended low-range diffusion – ensures that Aries goes lower and outperforms any other diffuser in its class’.

Artnovion is distributed in the UK by Audio-Technica.
