Room treatments


I recently moved and my listening area is now a 12'x12' room
with wood floors and painted sheetrock walls - very ordinary.

Any ideas on room treatmens that don't cost the earth?

My system is a Cary SLI-80 driving ProAc 1SC monitors.

Many thanks,

John.

I have a 10' by 10' room and the fact that it is square presents a huge problem. So for full range speakers bass traps are a must.

Another solution (which in most cases including mine is unreasonable) is to position the speakers kitty corner so the room becomes a diamond shape rather than a square. This works best with bookshelf speakers. Most important is to cover windows and the area behind the speaker. That made the most difference in my room and I simply threw a comforter on the wall. It works.

Don't give up though it can be frustrating at times.
