Talk to any acoustics or audio pro and they will tell you that diffusion is the final piece that can turn a good sounding room into a great one if used properly. Giving a sense of spaciousness to your music (or recording room) by breaking up that zingy, slap echo in a room without deadening it too much. In the past, diffusers have either been so shallow that they're ineffective on mid and lower frequencies, used random shapes that offer no mathematical diffusion resulting in uneven scattering or they've been so expensive that they're not a viable solution for many users.
Finally, a reasonably priced diffusion solution! GIK is proud to introduce the GIK D1 diffuser. A step up from a standard QRD design, the GIK D1 uses curved surfaces on some of the faces to extend the high frequency limit to which the diffuser works. The D1 has a usable range of approximately 500Hz to over 10kHz and does not exhibit lobing (uneven scattering) problems at 3500Hz so typical with many other 7 root diffusers of comparable size. A space is available in the rear of the diffuser to allow insertion of rigid fiberglass, mineral wool, or acoustical cotton to provide additional low frequency absorption while still maintaining excellent broadband diffusion.
The D1 is made from lightweight yet strong ABS, withstanding well over 150 pounds of pressure. It's washable and paintable to match your interior or other treatments or can be hung as is. The D1 is made using a thermoforming process that provides exceptional precision and repeatability during manufacturing.
The GIK D1 Diffusors are sold in sets of two for maximum shipping efficiency.

GIK Acoustics D1 Diffuser Review /
See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
I drove to
Atlanta to personally meet
Glenn Kuras (owner of GIK Acoustics) and to see his operation many moons ago.
Not only did I get to crash at his place for the weekend, but I was able to
become the first and only GIK dealer on Earth. It is incredible what this
company delivers for the money, Glenn has “bang for the buck” coupled with
effective products down to a science.
The D1 is amazing stuff, very heavy
molded plastic and quite sturdy. They ship in black or white and you can easily
paint them (I used a plastic specific spray paint at the local hardware store
and it was excellent). The last room I had was a concrete block room doing what
concrete block walls room do best, sounding like &$^#. It was all I had at
the time, and between the GIK bass panels and the D1 diffusors I was able to
get extremely useable sounds with drums, voice you name it. The room wasn’t
slappy and flutter-y any longer, and mounting the D1 was a snap (GIK includes 2
wooden strips you screw to the wall or ceiling, and screws to mount the D1 to
the wood, done!). Very effective and in classic GIK style, priced right and
simple to hang.
Conclusion: Stop all that flutter-y
mess in your room with the D1, good sound starts in the ROOM and don’t think
absorption is the only key to treating your space. Diffusion is a satisfying
way of keeping a space live without the obvious echo issues. You will not find
a more effective diffuser, not anywhere near this affordable price range.
