Quadratic residue diffuser with variant frequency

In modern studio design 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 morphs in between two possible sizes:

Acoustic diffuser with two different element sizes. Depth and height change according to frequency / period definition.


QRD - Double Architecture

Two of these designs might by joined to get a symmetric design:
