REW requires some learning and practice to take good measurements and can be a deep rabbit hole in interpreting results. Then there is the challenge of designing an implementation. I hired Nyal of Acoustic Frontiers and highly recommend him to help bridge that gap. He has access to acoustic panel products and implementation that retail customers do not. While some panels and speakers placement affect both a room is divided by the Schroder frequency. Below the frequency the become modal which requires a different approach than the ray-like sound dispersion in the higher frequencies.
Run REW prior to treating room
Quick question: I have a fairly standard room at 20' by 18' with 8' ceilings and I would like to treat my room with bass traps, acoustic panels, etc..
Should I first run REW to see how my room measures? Based on the measurements I can treat as appropriate. Is this the way room treatments should be done?
Thanks for your input..

Thanks @kevinzoe --Good information. |
I have the intention to use learn from all that is made available on this area of interest. The available Free Software and Tools that have been suggested to me, will also be utilised to attain an education for myself and see what I am able to achieve using the software and devices. Anything to be undertaken will only be done when the required action is confirmed by an individual who is very familiar with this type of activity, I am also able to share produced data with a Professional who advises Speaker Producers on their needs following data analysis. It is a waiting game until requires support is readily available to assist with my needs and enable me to compare my findings and interpretation for the Room / Speakers to theirs. |
