Acoustic treatment for side glass doors / please, need ideas.

Sadly, wife's home renovations forces me to move my audio system from the family room (not the best place anyway) to a small room but with side glass doors (sadly yes, BOTH sides). Room is small, 15"(L) x 10"(W) x 9"(H) . I was considering install drapes (maybe better, roller shades) because in that area cant have fixed solutions. I really need some advice here because this change can ruin my relax moments listening my records and having a glass of scotch.
Thanks in advance

Not on the doors, but anywhere else. :)

Again, I really like black out courtains. When shopping, a neat trick is to put your ear next to the curtain. Not ON it, but next to it, you'll get a good idea of how absorbent they are.

Also, remember, deficits in some areas can be made up for (imperfectly but well) in others.

Best,

Erik

can you listen with the doors open?

do this in steps:

Phase 1 - heavy curtains over the closed doors

Phase 2 - get & read the Master Handbook of Acoustics; do the calculations for high vs. md vs. low freq. regions for your room
- then do further tmts
