Flatscreen between speakers
Has anyone found a solution to cancel or at least improve the acoustic glare caused by a flatscreen tv on the wall behind the speakers? I don’t have a dedicated room and have to share the room with my home theater setup. I have thought of using an appropriate curtain and treat the tv as if it was a window. I am also considering light 3D printed panels that I can temporarily hung when listening to music and take down when watching TV with the wife.
I tried hanging a couple of thick towels on it to see if there would be any improvement and the answer is yes. The center image is more solid and a little deeper. Nothing drastic but if I could squeeze anything positive, why not. Please let me know if you have confronted this issue in the past and whether you were able to solve it. Thanks.
Fortunately I no longer have a flat screen between my speakers sharing stereo and surround sound. But when I did, I used a double-sided quilted black cover from https://www.digitaldeckcovers.com/ $110 delivered. It helped a lot and was easy to deal with. I added a few small velcro squares to tighten things up.

@newton_john Although I no longer have a TV between speakers, I did for several years, and it was quite close to the wall and above the main speakers. Covering the TV significantly improved stereo imaging. I also have an acoustic guitar in the room and it never occurred to me that it could be resonating - I just had a listen and it most certainly is - a lot! - but damping the strings made no difference. Not surprisingly, the resonance is from the body, which is essentially a Helmholtz resonator. THX! |
