Room Treatments


I don't really know anything about room treatments. I have done some reading but still confused. I guess my main question is how does one know if they need absorption or diffusion? I have a tv hanging on the wall behind my speakers how does that effect things. Am I better off going with traditional panels and traps, or should I be looking at resonator devices?

hi bigby, are those lights on your ceiling or sound treatments? very nice looking and just wondered about what improvements they made.
there is many ways of approaching this. one is with acoustic measuring programs and another is trial and error. i chose the latter and put room tune absorbers in the upper corners of the room. i also bought 4 panels and followed all the expert advice on putting 2 behind me and 2 at the pt of first reflection on the sides of my room. for a couple of 100 dollars i got to have the fun of experimenting and getting standing waves problem reduced. i just trusted my ears and am satisfied with the results. since my first foray i bought 4 concrete forms at lowes and have been experimenting with placement on the wall behind the speakers. the yellow construction zone color does wonders for the interior decorating. ha enjoy
hi, i filled the tubes in the corner behind the speakers with the pink stuff and the other two i am moving around to experiment with are empty. the bass in my room isn,t boomy any more and i have good details and soundstage. they were 10 dollars each so a cheap way to go. the ones i have are 10 inch diameter and 4 ft long. i am contemplating buying a few more to extend the ones i have to the ceiling. i have not built stands yet so the are on some bricks to keep them open at the bottom as well as the top. i did see a pic here once of a guy who had a virtual forest of these things in his room. over a 100 of em? in various sizes and treatments. he claimed they worked great. ha
