Finding Local Resource who can Assess my Audio Room


What are some effective ways to find a local audiophile who’s done room measurements and can assess how bad my room is and brainstorm over possible treatments should it have major problems?

I’m hesitant to hire a pro who has a vested interest in selling me room treatments because I don’t know how far I want to go down that path and to be honest, I’m going to be skeptical of results and recommendations if there’s that conflict of interest.

This is more of a one time assessment as I’m in my long term home and in a dedicated room, so while I could spend the $ for tools and go down the rabbit hole of learning how to do all the measurements myself, it isn’t my first choice.

Or is it a lot cheaper and easier to DIY and assess my room than I might be thinking?

Mitch Barnett works remotely. You measure your room with test tones he will send you. You need a $100 mic and a laptop. The software is free. Measure the room, Mitch will analyze and tell you what is good and bad. He uses very expensive software to develop the DSP solution.

If up have ROON then a fix is very easy to incorporate. This does the same thing in the digital only realm that physical acoustic panels do in a room.

 

 

Is Mitch’s analysis a room only analysis, or it looks at where you’re placing your speakers as well?

And if you change speakers (but not speaker location), do you have to re-do the analysis?

If you’re doing mostly physical media, including vinyl, can this digital correction be applied?  
 

Thanks.
