The wall behind me.


Hi

In my listning room wich is 420 cm * 380 cm.
I have a sofa on/against the wide side where my listning possition is.

On the opposit wide wall my sonus faber cremonas are placed.

Now the wall behind me is not covered by enything yet so its bare.

I have tried to hang a carpet there with audible improvments.

Now my qustina is when I look for acoustic panels for the wall behind me should I look for abersoberation og difussion panels or a mix of both ?

regards

I mounted a pair of 2'x4'x2" compressed fiberglas panels on the wall behind the couch in one of my systems and it made a huge improvement. See page 2 of this link: http://stereophile.com/musicintheround/706mitr/index1.html

The sound should not be bouncing off the back wall if your seat is there as the interference between the direct sound and the reflected sound will be severe in the midrange, depending on how close you are to the wall. While I do not recommend completely dead rear walls in general, in the specific case where you are within 2 feet of that wall, I do.
