2 questions regarding my future NX-Otica build
« on: 10 Jan 2021, 02:17 am »
The first question should be rather easy to answer:

What are the dimensions of the side wings of the NX-Otica? I need them so I can order veneer in the right size.

The second question is about acoustic treatment on the frontwall.

My room is 24,5ft by 18ft. I already have 12 absorption panels on the sidewalls/ceiling (my room is an attic, so the sidewalls pretty much are the ceiling).
Each panel is 1,6ft wide ,3ft long and 4 inches deep.

Since the NX-Oticas are dipole speakers I won't be able to avoid diffusion on my frontwall anymore.
I found 2 options so far, that seemed reasonable:

 1. DIY skyline diffuser
     
     I used the calculator from this site:
     http://www.mh-audio.nl/Acoustics/DiffusorCalculator.asp?fl=573&fh=4100&calc=Calculate+Diffuser#result
     
     As the lowest frequency I used 573hz and 4100hz as the highest.
     I plan on building 8 of these panels, 4 behind each speaker.

 2. DIY quadratic diffuser by Acoustic Fields
     
     The one I planed on building was the DIY version of this one:
     https://www.acousticfields.com/product/sounddiffuser-acousticdiffuser-qd23/
     I was going to build 2 or 4 of these.
     They sell the plans for it in a bundle with some other diffusion panel plans for 49$. It seems like a fair price.


Which diffusers should I choose? Or are there any better DIY options out there?

Thanks in advance for any answers!  :D

Jay and I have heard good results with the Pi Audio diffusers behind, and absorbing the first reflection point.
