Need help from you acoustical experts
Here is the latest version of my new listening room. Everything is nice and symmetrical. Depth is ok, width could be a little better. Most of the treatments are from GIK Acoustics, placed where they recommended.(mostly).
Treatments on the side walls are at 1st and 2nd reflection points.
Walls are drywall screwed and glued to steel studs, paneling glued and strapped to drywall and filled with Rockwool. The ceiling has R30 insulation covered by CelingMax grid, screwed to the joists (not hanging). Dedicated circuit for the stereo, and HVAC ducts insulated to keep it quiet.
Yeah, it’s very quiet. Creepy quiet.
My issue is probably with the treatments. Midrange/singers are very forward, and high in the room. Usually as high as the white music note panels, and sometimes the singer sounds like she’s on the ceiling between the speakers.
Anyone see a mistake I’m making with the acousticsounds panels, either placement or type?
I’d like to post some pictures, not seeing how to do it. Guess you'll need to look at my profile.
As I was reading through this I would say that I would lean more towards the advice provided by @newbee first rather than focusing on whether or not your room treatments are lacking or excessive. Once I saw the speaker you’re using I remembered seeing those some time ago. There is an interesting review of that speaker that mentions a forward stage so I thought I’d provide a link for you. The solve- move the speakers outward towards the wall. |
