| Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers? @macg19 You're welcome. Just so you know I prefer OmniMic to REW but folks can send me REW data in a text file format to analyze. Macg19, as you decide what treatments to place on your sidewalls (and front wall 1st order reflections), Energy Tim... | |
| Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers? @macg19 Kudos on all the effort and combinations and permutations of treatment placement!!! Lots of move->listen->measure cycles I’m sure. Just a note about the 4 Sound Blocks not seemingly made any difference to the DIRAC frequency resp... | |
| Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers? @macg19 Sure, I can do the analysis for you. Let's communicate via PM so that you can tell me what you're after and I can advise you on which measurements to take, how to take them, what file format to send to me and I can return a custom Repor... | |

| Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers? @macg19 Thanks for taking the time/effort to take measurements with DIRAC. It appears that DIRAC is working as it's expected matching L and R speaker decibels levels as best it can based on whatever parameter limits you set. But you're on step... | |
| Room Treatment? How important is it to treat the wall behind/between the speakers? @macg19 Congrats on a nice looking rig and room. If you're open minded to a few suggestions for better sound, here goes . . . these are not criticisms just ideas to try out. > Early Reflection Symmetry: (1) I'd pull your speakers forward so t... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU I've been using OnFilter for years which beat out my IsoTek products. Vlad is a great guy and very knowledgeable OnFilter got its start in medical labs I believe so it wasn't too much of a stretch to expand from a medical research lab to the aud... | |
| Room Treatment Help keeferdog, The echo sound when you clap your hands is likely flutter echoes between two hard parallel and untreated surfaces while the weird resonance is likely a room mode. Treating a room your size is challenging due to its small size. For exa... | |
| Room treatment jrdavisphd, I see from another one of your posts that you may be in the greater Toronto area which is where I am too. If you would like to discuss room treatments in general and possible options specific to your "overly dampened" room, then send ... | |
| Distortion from Audio Rack ?? To the OP: I am of the school of thought that the best equipment stand between the L/R main speakers is no equipment stand, as it interferes with soundstage, imaging, and early reflections symmetry, usually. If the speakers are pulled 7-8' out ... | |
| Room Analysis-How? @rjduncan - at the risk of appearing verbose given my long post above, I thought the following testing might be of interest to you. ~~~~ I wanted to evaluate how music sounds using 3 different EQ correction scenarios. This wasn’t an advanced scien... | |
| Room Analysis-How? @rjduncan - great question and one that involves a lot of learning. EDUCATION: I'd suggest reading Dr Toole's book "Sound Reproduction" which is about acoustics and psychoacoustic stuff. A base of knowledge and common sense will take you far. T... | |
| Room Treatments - ATS Corner Bass Trap I recently was working with Yamaha Music (Canada) on determining if some pesky bass modes could be absorbed enough or if structural room changes were needed. When 9 membrane bass traps (6 GIK Scopus T40 units and 3 Studio Solution units) were add... | |
| Room Treatments - ATS Corner Bass Trap jsalerno277 - congrats on your discovery that treatments can provide real substantive sound quality benefits. I am a bit surprised at how a single trap made so much of a difference that you listed, especially in an open concept room - I don't dou... | |
| Room Treatment: A Primer tcutter - Great info and clearly communicated! Just to add to what you've said so far, I thought I'd add: "For better stereo sound quality - is there an order to treating your room?" Early in my audiophile journey I thought frequency response w... |
