Terrible Booms


Hi everyone, I'm sad because I really tried everything (marble base, Gaia isoacoustic, anti-seismic bases, etc.)) but my speakers (ProAc D40R) in my environment (suspended parquet - with voids below) creates terrible booms . I managed to get a good compromise (tube traps and panels) but it's not as I would like. Maybe I should take small speakers, or in a closed box. The fact is that I like my speakers and I don't feel like changing them.

If your room acoustics cannot be improved, you need to use room correction.

Either use a preamp with this built in like Antimode or Anthem, or insert it between your pre and amp. I use miniDSP myself, but on the subwoofer, and because I already have all the room measurement gear I would need.


Looking at measurements, this is a low volume listening speaker, with a built in U/V shaped curve. It accentuates the treble and bass.  A room correction program may try to change both, so you'll want to get something you can control so you keep the original character of the speaker.
