What are the types of acoustic treatment?

Acoustic treatment can be classified into two main types: sound absorption and sound diffusion. Sound absorption materials, such as foam panels, carpets, and heavy curtains, reduce echo and reverberation by soaking up sound waves. Sound diffusion, achieved through structures like diffusers or irregular surfaces, scatters sound waves to create a more balanced auditory environment without deadening the space. Both types work together to enhance audio quality in various settings, from recording studiOS to home theaters.
