my main recording room is an irregular 20'x30', where the ceiling is parallel to the floor for 80% of the room. i was looking for a cost effective diffusor solution for the ceiling; let me know what you think...
using 2'x4' sheets of plywood or fiberboard, 1/8" to 1/4" thick, i would pull two of the edges together (the 2' sides) to create a "U" with a depth of about 12". brace these and mount 10 or so to the ceiling to break up the flat surface.
should i sutff the space behind these with any material? cover the face with anything? (i might sprayglue some cloth of for cosmetics) is 1/8" plywood thick enough to diffuse a decent amount of energy. again this is a cost effective solution.
thanks.

Nathan,
Greetings and welcome to the site. If you haven't done so yet, look under the acoustics forum and do some reading up. There are several ideas there for diffusors, and construction of them. After browsing for awhile, this may give some answers as well as new questions.
Most of us here don't have much time lately (I get about 10 minutes a day online), so I would suggest absorbing as much info as you can first.
Happy reading :D
