Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”?
Just got a pair of Wilson Audio Sabrina X’s and thinking about acoustic room treatments. If I can only place panels on my left wall and and not my right wall (I can fore and aft) will I be creating an unbalanced sound?
left wall blank
right wall fireplace and Flat panel tv above it
rear wall can put a panel or two
front wall a panel/diffuser and bass traps
Thank you for the quick reply and things to consider. Assuming you mean more than tape measure measurements, how would I best go about measuring my room? my system sounds really good, not harsh I have a record storage bookshelf about 18” behind speakers the bookshelf is against the front wall im new to this level of consideration for my listening space but want to maximize my enjoyment. Is there a good read on this or acoustic panel company that can guide me? |
Great feedback from everyone and I appreciate it. I ordered the Floyd E Toole Book Sound Reproduction and will start it when it arrives. I watched the noted YT video and there is so much info I will have to rewatch a few times to fully understand. I have about 200 hours on my Sabrina's but need to dial in the room. GHDprentice, I like the idea of using pillows and blankets to simulate what expensive panels may do. I will start by moving my sub around as well to see the impact that has. I need to get the bass right as was mentioned to build from that foundation.
I will post system this weekend in the virtual system area that was mentioned
Thank you all. |
@newbee thank you for your guidance and thought of loaning me your slm. I’ll find one on eBay. |
@newbee just received copies of some of the suggested Stereophile cds and awaiting a Radio Shack Analog SLM, but I need to understand how the sound meter measures decibels and how that relates to setting up bass response?? The only videos that I’ve come across for use of the slm, shows people measuring how loud their exhaust system is on their vehicles. |
