Towards the end of the last century, there appeared to be an increase interest in the use of scattering surfaces within concert halls. Certainly there was an explosion in their use in listening and studio control rooms. One catalyst for this was Schroeder's pioneering design of diffusers, such as the Quadratic Residue Diffuser (QRD), which gave acousticians the possibility of designing diffusers with known acoustic characteristics. This was further helped by the successful application of these diffusers ... 2, record 2, English, - quadratic%20residue%20diffuser

Le diffuseur à résidu quadratique est parfois appelé «diffuseur de Schroeder», en raison du principe mis au point par cet inventeur, mais comme ce dernier a aussi créé d’autres modèles de diffuseurs, il serait avisé de ne pas considérer ces deux expressions comme de parfaits synonymes. 2, record 2, French, - diffuseur%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9sidu%20quadratique
