Wife playing tennis this morning, so tested with the door open. Results were cleaner throughout, but certainly cleaner bass. I plan to test with REW, but strongly suspect I will have the same results as @rjduncan
Great post… who knew.
“You have to open a door or window to let the pressure out of the room.”
“It needs somewhere to go.” I read this advice about optimizing a listening room on another forum. I’m an admitted neophyte but this sounded like a bit of silliness to me. He said otherwise there’s nowhere for the sound waves to go and they will just bounce all over the room. Perhaps he’s entirely correct. What say ye? Where does the sound go?

Now salt lake city has an open air concert stadium . So where do the waves go? It has recently been discovered that the brine shrimp in the great salt lake have increased since styx played there. I won't mention the band that decreased the population. I turned serius on the love channel now I have too many cats.retrospective prospective double blind non bias study just got accepted for publication funded by peta. Enjoy the music waves. Do we port speaker boxes and why? Is it an open door? 😃 |
@signaforce Glad to hear that! I was curious a while back and got the REW software and a mic, and in addition, acquired some technical books to help me better understand concepts like decay, sound wave dynamics and resulting things like room nodes, etc. I've had a lot of fun listening to, and then testing with the software, things like opening/closing blinds/drapes, doors, moving furniture and of course speaker placement. Most all of it makes a measurable difference with the software. Not all of Iit made differences I could notice with my own ears, however. Or if I did, maybe not always positive differences. But opening the rear doors to my room (which creates a 7-8 foot "hole" in the back or my room) makes an incredible difference, especially in the bass. And importantly, I understand why that is given my measurements and study. Good luck!
