Need opinions on ceiling reflections
Bass response! doing so effective makes a say a 4inch panel 8" . Here are a few links to explain further and a few installation options as well. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUEnUuKZ1ZU http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjldCltb3XI |
As the OP, I wanted to get back on the solution that I put in place. And I still continue to learn more about acoustics.So I went with the GIK 242 2’ X 2’ panel that I mounted, flush with the ceiling. I used a "corner bracket" to do this. My initial position caused minor improvement. The music from the left speaker now were much more cleaner. So I asked my son to hold the mirror against the ceiling panel and I found that the mirror image of the tweeter was off by a couple of inches. Hence I moved the panel about 4-5 inches, but now part of the panel was not under the soffit. And this is where the music transformed and now the images were coming from the left side of the left speaker just as the right side images. I have the new panel pic on my system page so you can see how I mounted it. And at this point it stuck me as to why, when I had my absorption panels on the 2nd reflection point a couple of years ago, the music lost all dynamism, to the point that I had to move the panels to the back wall. So the soffit was causing "part" of the sound waves to bounce off the sides of the soffit and then hitting the second panel. So most of the music was getting absorbed and that was causing a "blank" at my listening position. With the new panel in place, the sound now hits the panel and appropriately travels at the listening position. I am glad that it was a learning experience, and think that there is a lot that can be done with proper room treatment. But there is no end to that. I have achieved what I was looking for and it is amazing to hear the same music which seems so much more coherent and engaging. Thank You to all who responded to my post 🙏🏼 |
