Once you get your room bass traps and some more treatment you will find out that the sound can improved dramatically. Without the treatment of some sort of DSP like the Tact then your sytem will not sound near as good as it can. The best part is that room treatment has a very good sound improvement per dollar ratio.
Room Acoustics
Just tested my media room using the Rives test disc (pink noise) and a RS analog SPL meter.
Couple of things:
- I kneeled behind the meter, which was set on a tripod in my so-called sweet spot for two channel. Certain midrange frequencies were very sensitive to my location and movement.
- For the heck of it I put some FG acoustical treatments (4'x2') at the first reflection points. Plotted the data and found that it impacted some frequencies but appeared to create more spikes a troughs than without!
I am interested in how some of these room treatment companies can quote you a package without measurement!
I'm going to repeat the test from all seven seating locations. Expect to see some wide variation.
