Yeah, the skyline diffusers are laid out based on a frequency.

It's best if you place them behind/near your audio monitors.

That's exactly the idea behind the bookshelf-on-the-rear-wall thing I was bangin' on about in the other thread. Remember my saying that you want to arrange the books in a haphazard manner?

Here's a link to the online calculator I used to construct my studio diffusers, based on a given frequency.

As you can see, these things can be built any size.

Fair warning.. If you're building one out of wood (rather than acoustic foam) they get heavy really fast. The two small wooden skyline diffusers I built weight about 25lbs each.

It turned out pretty cool. Can't get Imgur or iCloud links to show, and file size limit on attachments is 256KB. :|

.. then post your image link inside the image link braces.
