New listening room question
For sound quality purposes is there any benefit gained by installing a ceiling grid pattern? Would this serve as a “diffuser”. My room is 19’9” x 17’6” x 12’. There will be two ceiling fans symmetrically positioned and, as we are under construction, I have the ability to install some “architectural interest” to the ceiling in this room. I would only entertain this, however, if there is likely to be a qualitative sound benefit. Any opinions out there?
Also, are there any members here who can understand the physics/math behind the “sound node” calculators? Better yet, is there anyone willing to analyze my room measurements and tell me in layman’s terms what kind of issues I may expect to encounter in room interactions?
Those 12' ceilings are a great, great asset. "Everything keys off the ceiling height." https://www.decware.com/paper36.htm Amroc: you're in the "bolt area" -- https://amcoustics.com/tools/amroc?l=19.75&w=17.5&h=12&ft=true&r60=0.6 Read about this, but basically it means that you won't have the worst room modes. I strongly suspect that you don't need to do anything with your ceiling because they're high enough to avoid terrible first reflections. |
@scowler1 I forced an education on myself in the past year or so and have learned a lot. Happy to chat with you if you like. I'm not an expert and won't go beyond my experience. Message me if you want to talk. |
