I've used GIK and yes, I made room measurements using REW software first. Before you buy anything, do yourself a favor and optimize speaker and listening position before you begin adding treatments. Simply optimizing speaker and listening position, guided by measuring responses, can do more to improve frequency response than a whole room full of treatments. Treatments actually help most with reducing low frequency decay times, which produces articulate vocals, and treating early first reflection points, which improves imaging. The more you can do on your own, the more you will benefit from consultation. GIK is a great resource, but they are in business to sell, not to help you make most efficient use of your investment in treatments. All of the companies that sell treatments offer really good tutorials and tools on their websites. Real traps, for instance, offers a wealth of information which I encourage you to use. But I suggest you stick with GIK for products and advice.
Room Treatment
Hello All
I have been doing some research on room treatment and am not really sure how to proceed. I am listening in a 12’x 20’ x 9’ living room with the speakers on a short wall. Have recently updated equipment and now want to extract better performance. Has anyone here had GIK advise them what products of theirs to start with? How many people actually take room measurements before proceeding with treatment?
I think i need to start with front corner traps, minor first reflection point treatment and at least 1 good trap on the rear wall. thoughts?
Thanks
