1. Reflection: This technique involves reflecting sound waves off surfaces to change their direction and spread them around a space.
2. Absorption: Absorbing sound waves is a common diffusion technique. Acoustic panels are used to absorb sound waves and reduce echo in a space.
3. Diffraction: Diffraction is the bending of sound waves around obstacles such as walls.
4. Scattering: Scattering involves spreading sound waves in multiple directions using diffusers or other devices. This helps to reduce echo and improve sound quality.
5. Reverberation: Reverberation creates a sense of space or atmosphere in a room by reflecting sound waves from surfaces to create a natural, blended sound.
6. Resonance: Resonance is used to enhance certain frequencies of sound waves by tuning objects or surfaces to amplify or absorb specific frequencies.
7. Directivity: Directivity distributes sound waves in specific directions to maximize coverage in a particular area or to focus sound on a specific location.
