Ecohush DS2 Skyline Acoustic Diffuser

A high-performance bi-directional primitive root diffuser engineered to scatter reflected sound energy, improve spatial imaging, enlarge the sweet spot, and create a more balanced listening environment without over-deadening the room. Type Skyline / Primitive Root Diffuser Scattering Range 1040 Hz – 6200 Hz Material Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Panel Size 600 x 600 x 150 mm PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Ecohush DS2 Skyline Diffuser is designed for spaces where sound quality is critical and conventional absorption alone is not enough. By scattering incoming reflections into smaller, lower-energy waves across a broader area, the DS2 helps create a more homogeneous sound field and a more natural acoustic character. Unlike purely absorptive treatments that can make a room sound overly dry, the DS2 preserves liveliness while controlling harsh specular reflections and flutter echo. The result is improved speech intelligibility, more stable imaging, greater listening comfort, and a wider sweet spot across the room. Developed as an optimized primitive root reflection phase grating with 12 phase block heights, this diffuser is particularly suitable for professional and high-fidelity environments where controlled diffusion is a priority. KEY FEATURES Bi-directional primitive root diffuser Optimized reflection phase grating geometry 12-phase block height configuration Designed for controlled mid-to-high frequency diffusion Lightweight XPS construction Available in custom RAL colour shades Easy installation using spray or contact adhesive BENEFITS OF DIFFUSION Enlarges the sweet spot Controls specular reflections Reduces flutter echo Improves sound field uniformity Enhances music clarity and speech intelligibility Maintains acoustic energy without excessive deadening RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS Control Rooms Recording Rooms Home Studios Broadcast Studios Drum Rooms Critical Listening Spaces TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Product Name Ecohush DS2 Skyline Diffuser Product Type Bi-directional primitive root diffuser Acoustic Principle Optimized primitive root reflection phase grating Phase Configuration 12 phase block heights Scattering Range 1040 Hz to 6200 Hz Material Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Dimensions 600 x 600 x 150 mm Weight Approx. 1.44 kg per panel Dimensional Tolerance +/- 5% Water Resistance Water absorption < 1% Fire Rating DIN Class B2 Installation Method Spray adhesive or contact adhesive Quantity per Box 4 panels Box Dimensions 645 x 405 x 655 mm Box Weight Approx. 7.8 kg WHY CHOOSE THE DS2 SKYLINE DIFFUSER Choose the DS2 when you want to improve clarity and spatial performance without stripping the room of energy. It is especially effective in environments where accurate monitoring, controlled ambience, and a natural acoustic signature are important. This makes it an excellent choice for mixing rooms, recording spaces, drum rooms, and broadcast applications where diffusion is preferred over excessive absorption.

Choose when reverberation reduction is the primary objective. Choose for economical echo control in smaller rooms. Choose when aesthetics and integrated absorption are both important. IMPORTANT NOTE The DS2 Skyline Diffuser is a diffuser, not an absorber. For best acoustic results, it is typically used as part of a broader treatment strategy combining diffusion and absorption in the right proportions for the room.
