Article: A New Listening Room Part One


Recommended Posts

I see a mayor issue with room refections coming from the sides  and 45º ceiling focusing a lot of acoustic energy to the center of the room. I had a listening room with a vaulted roof with a radius equal to the apex of the room and focusing all sound to the centerline of the  floor and the acoustics were horrible. When I installed a suspended ceiling with a much greater radius the acoustics got pretty good. I guess one needs to disperse reflected sound and try to avoid focusing it to the listing area.

Poor OP. He will be more confused now. One member is suggesting not less than 6 feet and another member - quoting someone - tells the distance shouldn't be more than 3 feet. Which one is correct and why?

It is about time difference of direct sound and reflected sound. 6 feet traveling difference (also applies to sides) is the minimum  for our auditory system not to confuse direct with reflected so a 3 feet wall distance gives 6 feet back and forth but more if quite better!
