LEDE does anyone subscribe to this?


Does anyone subscribe to the live end dead end concept. A lot of studios used this concept. Does anyone use it in their home?

Is it applicable or useful to dipole radiators?

I am building a listening room in my basement and looking for ideas on taming the sound of sheet rock. My room sounded pretty good (insulation on the outside walls and carpet on the floor) before I decided to have it meet WAF standards.

Danny,

I don't think it's regarded as the right solution here among the pros. It does have its application in the right room with the right speakers and there os no harm in trying. I've heard this concept used with small monitors that were against the wall. The dead end was the speaker end. The listening position was far from the back wall. It was great. Most times though you need to control reflections by making them very random. I like a room filled with lots of stuff. Shelves, bookcases, knick knacks, plants, etc. The more junk in the room the better it will sound. If you like the spartan look you will likely need to be more scientific. My opinions are based on experience with various systems in a couple of different houses always having a dedicated listening room.
