HOFA Diffusor White

Bought two of these partly to decorate home studio and eliminate the echos a little bit. Very well built, clearly whiter color than in the photos, which is nice. It was easy to find suitable spots at the back side to bolt them together and hang it on the wall next to framed paintings. The plywood isn't too thin for that. The insets are empty on the backside and easy to fill with something if you want maximize the use.

Really happy to have these!

These diffusors are put together reasonably well, as good as can be expected at the price. The wood panels are only glued at the backside, not at all at the front. Because of this, and because of the thin material, the wood can flex and in various places it is quite warped, but from a distance they look fine. Audibly the panels should fully reflect the sound and only perform the task of diffusing but they are actually quite absorptive too, dulling the sound and reducing transient sharpness, thereby reducing liveliness in the process. I started out with 8 panels behind my system and ended up with 2. With these 2 panels in place, the soundstage focus and bass precision are improved and the sound is subjectively indeed better than without the panels. I have a feeling that more expensive diffusors made from sturdier material will do a better job at being neutral. If your room needs some damping as well as diffusing however, then these panels actually solve two problems at once. For much better results, have a look at the t.akustik Spektrum D20 Diffusor which is larger, heavier, sturdier, and more effective, for relatively less extra money.

im meinem kleinen beton bunker waren die hofa diffusoren genau das richtige um den raum zu beruhigen und nebst den absorbern und bassfallen den klang nicht zu töten.

anfangs war ich skeptisch ob die holzkästchen überhaupt was bringen. zum testen habe ich die diffusoren öfter mal wieder abgehängt oder neu positioniert. resume : ohne ist's einfach zu dumpf und matt... die hofas müssen sein !

El difusor está pintado de blanco. La pintura mancha. No es un pintado de calidad. Parece que lo han dado con brocha gorda y se notan las marcas de las cerdas de la brocha. Deberían haberlo hecho con pistola para que el acabado fuese bueno y con una pintura que tuviera un acabado liso y que no manche cuando ya esté seca. Sin duda, el mismo modelo de difusor con acabado natural en madera de abedul es mucho mejor. Tengo los dos y no hay punto de comparación.
