acoustic treatment

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...

Hello everybody, I have a home studio in my garage (6.20x4x2.60 meters). I did an acoustic treatment with DIY bass traps using rock wool with a density of 70 (120x60x8cm each). I placed them at the points of the first reflection using the mirror technique. I put corner bass traps in the corners...

Recently I have upgraded the HT/listening room with acoustic treatments. Now, the REW measurements show 100-400Hz region decays faster than the 500+Hz region. Also something strange is happening around 50Hz and 85Hz. The REW experts here - would you mind having a look at the REW measurements...

Most recent update is here. I have been posting about benefits of acoustic treatment of a room, especially in larger rooms. I believe that if done right it is a better, and if you have basic carpentry skills, a much cheaper option then using multiple subwoofer setups. I have the degree to do it...

Hello, I moved to a new house. I have a dedicated room for my hi-fi setup. I am free in acoustic tratement and placement. Do you think the Revel F228 would be big in a room of this size? How should I place the speakers? For now, there is a large diffuser in the front. I placed the system on...

I have towers that are 4' tall. I had some leftover fabric and built four 2'x2'x4" absorbers which I plan to put on the front wall behind the speaker. My question is how high/low do I put them? I was thinking about having one extend 15" above the speaker then 9" below and then I'm wondering...
