t.akustik Diffusor Manhattan eps set
Professional music gear - detailed information and where to buy
These t.akustik Manhattan diffusers are a surprisingly decent option for home recordists or podcasters on a tight budget. The EPS construction keeps them light and easy to work with, and you can paint them to match your studio. Just don't expect miracles – they're best for taming mid-range reflections, not tackling serious bass issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
While they’ll help, EPS diffusers aren’t designed to eliminate standing waves. Bass traps are essential for that, and these are more about scattering mid-range reflections.
Adhesive is highly recommended for optimal acoustic performance and to prevent rattles. Screws could compromise the EPS foam’s integrity and reduce diffusion efficiency.
They offer a basic level of diffusion, but higher-end wooden diffusers will generally provide a wider and more even distribution of frequencies, with a more complex scattering pattern.
