There is a gentleman who has a YouTube channel that I watch regularly, the channel name is Acoustic Fields, and Dennis Foley is the the person who does these videos, and has a company of the same name who does very high end acoustical installation, and more. Well worth your time, and yes indeed, it is a science.
Just today he went over a very basis goal you must meet before anything else can be considered; equal sound level/pressurization within your room. This was very interesting, breaking up the room in several sections, in which all locations must be close to equal in volume, or pressurization. One thing he stressed is that the area behind the speakers must have an equal DB level as your sweet spot, or a far corner of the room. I said to myself, ‘oh man, I bet mine is a mess’. Took out the DB meter on my phone, and walked all around my room. I was surprised how equal my room was, but nothing near what he accomplishes on his projects, I’m sure.
Anyway, a very interesting guy, who is nice enough to provide some basics from a pro in high end acoustical treatment installs. Well worth your time.
