Product Description

Concealed 2D Acoustic Diffusion
KINETICS® STEALTH 2D Diffusers are designed to scatter sound energy both horizontally and vertically using random elevations and varied surface patterns. Installed behind a stretched-fabric acoustic finish, STEALTH diffusers disappear from view while still helping shape the acoustic character of the room. This makes them suitable for high-end interiors where acoustic performance must be integrated without visible diffuser surfaces.

Improved Clarity and Sound Field Control
STEALTH Diffusers help control harsh, specular reflections by dispersing sound energy into the room. This improves sound clarity, acoustic uniformity, speech intelligibility, and listening consistency, while also helping control flutter echo on parallel walls. The result is a more spacious, balanced, and lifelike listening experience in critical acoustic environments.

Designed for Critical Listening Rooms
STEALTH provides cost-effective diffusion for home theaters, home studios, two-channel rooms, screening rooms, private cinemas, music listening rooms, and other acoustically sensitive spaces. It is especially useful where the acoustic design requires diffusion rather than additional absorption, helping preserve room energy while reducing direct reflection issues.

Stretch-Fabric Acoustic System Integration
STEALTH Diffusers are installed within Kinetics StretchTRAK™ or other stretched-fabric acoustical systems. They are suitable for wall and ceiling applications and can be oriented horizontally or vertically, giving acoustic consultants, AV designers, interior designers, and contractors flexibility when coordinating room layouts and reflection control zones.

Product Sizes and Material Construction
STEALTH Diffusers are manufactured from black thermo-molded rigid copolymer material. Standard diffuser face dimensions are 20-1/2″ wide x 44-1/2″ high. Three depth options are available: STEALTH 1 at 3/4″ deep for 1″ StretchTRAK systems, STEALTH 2 at 1-5/8″ deep for 2″ StretchTRAK systems, and STEALTH 4 at 3-1/4″ deep for 4″ StretchTRAK systems.

Installation Coordination
STEALTH Diffusers are installed on walls or ceilings according to the acoustic room design. Installation is typically completed by Kinetics-certified StretchTRAK system installers, although installation guidelines are available. Required tools and hardware include a utility knife, construction adhesive, and drywall screws, with screw lengths varying by diffuser depth. Diffusers may also be cut with a table saw or sharp utility knife to fit the intended area when needed.

Installation Guidelines

STEALTH Diffusers are installed on walls and ceilings, according to the acoustical room design. Although installation is typically done by Kinetics-certified StretchTRAK system installers, STEALTH Diffusers can be installed by following the guidelines below.

Tools and hardware needed

  • Utility Knife
  • Construction Adhesive
  • Drywall screws (length)
    • STEALTH 1 (1-inch)
    • STEALTH 2 (1-1/4 inch)
    • STEALTH 4 (2-1/2 inch)

Mounting

  • Mark the surface area where the diffuser will be placed.
  • Apply construction adhesive on the back of the diffuser, where contact will be made with the wall or ceiling.
  • Run drywall screws through the face to hold in place while adhesive cures.
  • If necessary, diffusers can be cut with a table saw or sharp utility knife to fit an appropriate size for the intended area.
