Popular Post Marco Klobas Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 The amount of panels chosen, match the classic layout to treat acoustically an average room, IMO. Mid-high absorbers for side walls, ceiling and front wall – bass traps for back wall and corners. They put 6 bass traps on the back wall. Maybe 4 would have been sufficient and they could have used some diffusers instead. The rendering shows no floor treatment (carpet) and in the video footage the floor isn't visible. Unfortunately domestic rooms are often impossible to treat in the same way due to aesthetic reasons and ... acceptance issues coming from other members living under the same roof. Fortunately today it's possible to find quite nice looking panels on the market, though. I prefer the treated sound. It sounds "muffled" if compared to the empty room because the latter is like listening inside a tank (in comparison). 🙂 The difference is so noticeable that at first the treated room sounds almost like an anechoic chamber. In the treated room you can crank up the volume if needed. In the untreated room, it'd be a mess. I have treated so far only partially my listening room with some Auralex panels (mid-high absorption and corner bass traps). I intend to complete hopefully soon the work with other mid-high absorption panels, corners and diffusers by Vicoustic and bass traps by GIK. DIY solutions work too, of course. Curtains, carpets, pillows/cushions and furniture definitely can help to improve the sound. Acoustic treatment is one the most ignored and neglected aspect of domestic listening. It should deserve way more attention. Confused and Bill Brown 2 Link to comment
