acoustic treatment

Hello friends - I’d like to buy some acoustic panels for my basement home theatre and need some advice. I attached a floor plan and photos. Here are those and a video walkthrough: My home theatre is 16x11.75 feet with eight foot ceilings, roughly in the left side of my basement next to stairs...

Thanks for reading my thread! I'm seeking help about eliminating the nulls in a non acoustic treated room. I'm running the Neumann KH120A + Dual KH750DSP setup (with MA-1 Calibration), I've been working on them for several days now, and the REW Result still doesn't seem promising, with several...

I’ve been using Dirac room correction and in my experience it can transform a mediocre room (let’s say 3-4/10 on a subjective imaginary scale) into something sounding like an 8/10. if Dirac can achieve this high level of sound quality (8/10) regardless of the room’s starting point, does that...

Hi everyone, Been a long time lurker on this forum and found the advice not only helpful, detailed and accurate, but also considerate. Hoping for some of that here! If I make any obvious errors, for instance if I'm asking this in the wrong sub-forum, please let me know. I'm starting to treat...

Hi folks. Even tho I still can consider myself a noob, I'm on my journey to learn more about acoustics, even because I've already started treating my home studio (an spare cubic bedroom at my house). I got an introdutory online course from a Brazilian acoustics company, I've also been...

I removed some homemade treatments in my office and purchased a new to me RME ADI-2 FS Pro. Moving stuff resulted in a mid-range suck out, which wasn't there before. Notice how the big dip in the 300Hz to 700Hz ? Here's my homemade 6-inch thick foam based treatment (2ft x 6ft). These used to...

Hello everyone! I need help adjusting the Kali monitors DIP Settings based on their position in my room. I'm not that experienced when it comes to acoustics. I can't decide which of the listed Dip positions fits my case. I'll attach a picture for you below. I've been trying for some time...

It's my understanding that open-cell melamine foam is one of the more effective sound treatment materials, but it seems like melamine sheets are incredibly expensive. Aside from the labor involved, is there any reason I couldn't just buy 1,000 "magic eraser" sponges and use them to "tile" my...

Hi All, I am trying to setup a home theatre in small room. Gear : AVR 3800h LCR: QA concept 40 and centre Surrounds SL,SR: 3020i Sub: SVS SB 1000 pro Even though sound is enjoyable for sometime, it's causing headache even when i am listening at 70-75 db range . Room has carpet and 4 panels on...

Hey, I'm trying to track down the root cause to some shrillness in the system. I think it relates to the peaks/valleys I'm seeing at higher frequencies on my LCR channels. For now, I have EQ'd them down, but if possible, I prefer to leave most the high range all natural. (Don't judge my bass...

Hi, I want to make 4 DIY acoustic panels. I've read on reddit that the important thing is the thickness of the material, not have to worry about material type itself. But I have no experience, what should i choose? I like that polyester thing or rockwool 'cause of the thickness they provide...

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to the collective expertise of this forum for advice on improving the acoustics of our studio. It's uniquely situated in the heart of Paris, nestled in the second basement of a historic building, and boasts a distinct pentagonal shape. Our budget for acoustic...

Hello, would you choose an 18-22 m² room that is rectangular (e.g. 5x4m) or would you choose a 30 m² room that is a complete cuboid (5.5x5.5m) and has other advantages such as a quiet environment and more solid walls? (The ceiling height is 2,4m, it is standard here in my country) In my...

Greetings to all, Guys I would really appreciate your input on the following questions that I have with regards to acoustic treatment. First off, let's set the scene: Due to budget constraints I can only treat my back wall at this point (attached photo) I would only like to use safe...

Hi, I am currently planning my studio, my room is 18 m2 and the setup is on the shorter wall. The room is reasonably symmetrical except for the windows, but there are none at the first reflection points or backwall. I made the first measurements in different positions and distances of the...

Hello, I am currently planning my studio with GIK Acoustics. I am faced with the question which color the fabric cover should have. Does anyone of you have black modules and is it much hotter in summer, even if the modules are not directly on a window? Or does someone have a very bright color...

Hi. I would like to treat my room soon. Originally, I wanted to put 17cm thick mineral wool monster absorbers from GIK Acoustics everywhere in my room. (I'm not talking about the corners + ceiling, I'm only concerned with walls etc for now). My room is 20 square meters. Quantity goes before...

Hi all! About a year ago, my parents decided to build a new home. As a retirement gift for my father, I decided I would design a dedicated music room for him. And thus I gingerly dipped my foot into the rabbit hole of acoustics and promptly fell into the infinite void. A year later, the...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience or Isowall wall damping or any similar? After watching it seems to make more sense to damp the walls instead of stuffing a room full of room treatment. For my new house I was wonder if it's worth the effort to do something like this. The house would be a...

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for sharing your reflexions on this topic. The purpose of this thread is purely on acoustic treatment of a room and more specifically how or what to change from a traditional studio design (without in-wall speakers) to a studio using Kii's. I would like...
