The present invention relates to a CPAP system comprising: an RPT device; a patient interface forming a plenum chamber and including a seal-forming structure; an air delivery conduit; and a vent assembly comprising: a base including at least one first orifice extending through the base to allow gas to be discharged from the pressurized volume to ambient along a primary vent flow path and at least one second orifice to allow gas to be discharged from the pressurized volume to ambient along a secondary vent flow path; a diffusing member provided to the base, the diffusing member configured and arranged such that the at least one first orifice is covered by the diffusing member so that vent flow passes through the diffusing member along the primary vent flow path and the at least one second orifice is not covered by the diffusing member so that vent flow bypasses the diffusing member along the secondary vent flow path; and a membrane provided to the base, wherein the membrane is structured and arranged to apportion the vent flow of gas along the primary vent flow path and the secondary vent flow path throughout respiratory therapy.
