Quadratic residue diffuser with variant frequency

In modern studios acoustic diffusers are used to control wall reflections and create a smoothed sound environment. QRDs are designed for one frequency which might be suspicious for some users. Therefore I though about a design which uses 2 frequencies. It's shape - in detail the angle of the elements - morphs in between two possible positions:


QRD - Princip

an acoustic diffuser with two different frequencies


Acoustic diffuser with two different element angles which change according to frequency definition


QRD - Architecture

The ready built diffuser design:
