LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM
I am looking to improve the acoustics of my listening room located in Nassau County, New York. I have installed drapes, an area rug and not sure how to proceed further. Do I need absorption, diffusion, tube traps in corners? Not sure of any of this. I am looking for someone to come to my music room and help me. I believe I need an acoustic engineer who has the knowledge to show me what objectively needs to be done to meet my goals. Willing to pay a reasonable hourly for advice. Many audiogon members have stated that if the listening room is deficient, changing equipment will not be the final answer. Thank you.

Took a picture of my system with my i phone and could not create the virtual. Was really looking for someone to meet with me and maximize my room. There is science to this and I believe there is no substitute for someone with technical knowledge to help me. Trying myself, putting tube traps in corners, absorption panels here and diffusers there is only guessing and trial and error at best. Thnak you.

There’s so much variance in rooms and their acoustics - I can understand why you’d like in-person technical advice (I have no suggestions). In light of this, you could spend some time submitting the free GIK Acoustic Advice form found here which may point you in the right direction. I’ve found that there recommendations are a little heavy handed in respect to absorption and level of panels, which seems to lean towards pro studios vs “normal” shared listening environments. Members here may disagree with this last statement. An acoustic engineer or someone competent and experienced in listening spaces would of course be ideal - and something that would have been greatly beneficial for me as well (historically and currently). |
