Dipoles and sidewalls
In a smallish room what is best at the first reflection points for di poles?
diffraction or absorbtion |

How small is "smallish?"
In general I would say the side wall first reflection points should be absorptive or diffusive--not reflective. Last edited by GaryProtein; 10-26-2015 at 05:23 PM. |

Billy, 2" thick absorption would be best for Logan's IMO

Absorptive side reflection points will work well for you.

According to S. Linkwitz here : Room Acoustics in section D - Loudspeaker and listener placement
"The wall behind the speakers should be diffusive. The rear radiation from a dipole must not be absorbed or it is no longer a dipole. Similarly, the side walls should not absorb sound at the reflection points but diffuse it. A dipole can even be towed in so that the listener sees the radiation null axis in a wall reflection mirror." Some side reflections actually improve the intelligibility of sounds coming from the speakers. I find this works well. You'll have most problems with placement relative to your front wall in a small room as planars sound best 4 feet or so away from it. Last edited by Barry1; 11-02-2015 at 12:39 PM. |

In a room that small I would recommend absorption. Perhaps something like our 242 panel. If you wanted to add a bit of diffusion to it then use something like our 4A Alpha panels.
4A Alpha Panel Diffusor / Absorber
