Room Acoustics


Could somebody give me a few pointers on where to start, how to determine problems in a room and fix those problems? Perhaps a link to a basic starters page. Do acoustical panels really improve things alot? Can it be done cheaply?

another approach that I did was to use the people at http://www.acousticsciences.com

All you ned to do is to provide them with photos of your room with measurement and where you are sitting and where your speakers and gear is.

They will then provide to you at no charge a CAD of their suggestions on the room modifications.

I used them and my room is flat at all frequencies other than a small 60 Hz bass hump which I can live with.

Acoustic panels do make a difference. Have a look at the photos of my room and you wil see the different size tube traps as well as the sound planks on the front wall.
"Working on your room acoustics is probably one of the most important things you can do to improve the sound of your system."

I would go so far as to say that room acoustics is "THE" most important thing you can do to improve the sound of your system.
