Room acoustics basics


Are there any sort of definitive books/publications on the basics of room acoustics?  I’m not a STEM-brained guy by any means so need something that starts at level 101.

I found this to be a very interesting read.  It touches on many of the accepted theories of room design and adds some new thoughts.  It includes a room dimension calculator so you can plug in different numbers and see how they change the room.  I like comparing the same numbers on the Bonello formula to see how close the two charts can get.

 

I called GIK Acoustics for help but  they are selling their products 

Couldn't believe how much it help the sound from a big ball of sound to an amazing soundstage with such focus and bass control

After I purchased speaker cables from Morrow Audio I received an offer to sign up for their Tweaks Newsletter. I received the first one and it was pretty basic ( what the OP wanted ) yet informative. It quickly and informatively described treating the wall behind the speakers and the wall behind the listener with easy to obtain and affordable materials. You don't have to make a purchase from them to subscribe to the newsletter. Just go to:
