treepmeyer, I use DSP extensively but, in order to use it to it's fullest potential you still have to manage room acoustics appropriately or you will waste a lot of power getting nowhere. DSP will correct frequency response and group delays but it will not contain early reflections which blur the image. DSP will not stop standing waves or control modal behavior. All of this needs to be managed directly in the design of the room and the speakers along with absorption at the appropriate points.
How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts?
I am looking at a cork wall covering product to help enhance my listening room acoustics. The room is in a condo and shares duty as an "L" shaped living / dinning room. As I have neighbor's on either side I was thinking of doing the one wall where the speakers are placed and the opposite wall where I have my sitting position (The Coach!). I was thinking the entire sitting room wall (10x8) and the speaker area (10x8) on the opposite wall. This may also have the additional bonus of helping to reduce the noise coming from my stereo into those condo's next to me?
I was wondering what people's experience has been and successful materials used as wall coverings or panels.

https://www.thefoamfactory.com/acousticfoam/wedgefoam.html For $123.00 you can get a box of 48 12 X 12 X 4" tiles. That is enough to do four 3 X 3' patches. It is cheap enough to allow you to experiment before you spend money on better looking treatment. There is nothing more effective and many people just keep the foam tile which looks very technical. In a darkened theater environment it makes no difference anyway. |
