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.

@kjl1065 I used Music City Acoustics to come up with a plan. They, like some others, will come up with a plan for no charge. For some simple work on your part like photos and measurements the result will be wonderfully successful. I did a very deep dive (on vendors, reflections and how to treat) before selecting this company. Additionally I hired a finish carpenter to hang panels and the laser levels were his guide. |
I don’t believe the room was over damped at any time. It is just controlled. Most people are just used to hearing the colored sound that many reflections cause and they think that is the correct way to have the room. The sound was fantastic but I got to wondering what some diffusion would sound like. Jeff designed up the panels and told me exactly where to mount them. They did fill the room with sound better than without the panels but I could have been happy either way. |
