room treatment

Hello, new here to the forum. I recently started on the journey of room acoustics thanks to this forum and finally feel like I have a couple questions that are precise enough for a thread. My room is not a single purpose listening environment and is filled with a bunch of bookshelves and...

Hi. I currently have a Genelec 8341A setup like in the photos below (the tweeters are perfectly at ear canal height): This is centered within the right half of a 27'4" wide living room, the left half being 14'11" deep and the right half where my setup is being 14'3" deep, the ceiling being...

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...

I just stumbled upon this guy today, although he's been around for a long time. This is his most recent vid. I know that he's selling a product, but he appears to understand the math and physics of room acoustics and how his products work within the numbers. I watched several of his vids in...

I recently moved into a new apartment. The home office / music room is 4 x 3,6 x 2,65m with a door and a window at the shorter walls, so the speakers had to be placed along the 4m wall. After setting everything up some initial testing revealed that the cabinet in the opposite corner of the...

I am sharing my REW measurements seeking for conclusions, thoughts, EQ and/or room treatment advise. What you see are the measurements of my main(2,2m) as well as my secondary(5m) listening position in a 30m2 non treated but really cared(curtains, carpets, furniture, canvas, positioning) room...

Hi folks. I've been a headphone listener for quite some time. With my new place that is coming in the next year or so I've decided to dedicate one room for 2 channel setup (possibly changing into multichannel/cinema system in the future). Room dimensions are 3.5m X 5.6m. I plan to divide it...

I'm planning to build some bass traps. The rear wall will be treated with about 40cm of glass wool but I want something more attractive for the front wall. I really like the looks of triangular bass traps; they're not as visually intrusive as square bass traps to me. I do all my caculation...

Hi all, Helmholtz resonators are enticing for the control of low frequency room modes, and it's remarkable that such small structures can resonate at such low frequencies. However, they seem to have been largely written off by the audio community because they so often fail to perform as...

I haven't found any useful threads on this topic, so I'll start one now. All those die-hard audiophiles always claim that having a TV between your speakers can ruin the center image and soundstage. How much truth is to that? How large will be the difference between having a large TV (or any...

Hi, I’m after some advice on potential acoustic treatments for my living room. I’ve made a reasonable investment in my hifi set up over the last few years (mainly Naim) but concerned that room acoustics in my apartment living room is becoming quite a limiting factor. Room is 5.5m x3.8m...

Hi all, So, as the title says, thanks to plans for building a new house from the ground up, I have the opportunity to do basically whatever I want for my main computer/gaming/audio/office room, and would like some advice and reading materials on the subject. Restrictions and properties that...

I've been looking to (and working on) improve the stereo setup in my new place for a while now; Mainly moving the speakers around, applying EQ (on a miniDSP-like setup), and recently (making quite a large impact) moving aside my large oak coffee table. The current setup is quite basic: On the...

Hello to all, Passionate about music and acoustician, I manage a website about acoustics and hi-fi. I think that it will be able to please some people, especially the "blog" section. Here is the link : https://www.pytaudio.com/en/ Looking forward to discuss with you :) Musically

Hi! I have recently finished setting up my HT/stereo system consisting of Kef IQ90, IQ60C, IQ30 and dual SVS PC-13 ultra with upgraded amps. I'm using a Denon AVR-X4400h to drive my setup (7.2). Attached is a REW measurement of my untreated room. The room is L shaped 3,3 x 5,8m (10,8 x 19ft)...

In my night time configuration, which is just how the room looks like normally, the system and listening position are shifted to the left of the room. I thought I'd try and partially fix the asymmetry with two large panels. Just testing it out now. The subjective impression is that panels take...

Just wondering if anyone has used these or heard them in use. Actively absorb sound 20-150hz to prevent or reduce uneven bass response. http://www.psiaudio.com/en/our-products/avaa-c20/ http://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/psi-audio-avaa-c20...

I haven't finished reading the journal article yet but this thread started by Scott Wilkinson over at AVS caught my eye: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-audio-theory-setup-chat/2876001-metasurface-schroeder-diffuser-10-times-thinner-than-usual.html Essentially a method of using modified...
