Trying to find the ideal locations for room treatments such as echo tunes, tube traps, Shakti Halographs, Skyline diffusers, crystals, DIY Helmholtz resonators, panels by ear is like trying to solve five simultaneous equations in seven unknowns. The best you can do by trial and error is find satisfactory locations but the chances of finding all the ideal locations with using a SPL meter and test tone to establish where exactly the offending pressure peaks are located are about zero to none. What you wind up with using trial and error is local maximums. This is one case where measurements save the day.
Help with room treatments
I’m wanting to add some treatments to my listening space. I’ve reached out to GIK and ASC. GIK is proposing more treatments than ASC (reflection points, diffusers on back wall, bass traps in corners and behind speakers). ASC has only recommended tube traps in the corners and treatment at reflection points.
The ASC traps alone are more expensive than all of the combined treatments GIK is suggesting.
Has anyone used treatments from either of these companies? Do you feel the ASC traps are worth the added expense?
