In Reply to: Room Acoustics Technical Question posted by cuallito on September 28, 2022 at 21:43:28:
Room acoustics is a complex subject, it has evolved over many years to include such tools as Helmholtz resonators, ebony wood, tiny little bowl acoustic resonators, room echo absorbers, corner treatments, diffusers, Tube Traps, crystals, constrained layer dampers, and a boatload of other audiophile devices. There are many different acoustic issues, some of which may be counter-intuitive, that should be addressed separately.Trying to treat the room without knowing what and where the problems are beforehand is like trying to solve x number of simultaneous equations in x + n unknowns.
One should map out the existing room acoustics using test tones and SPL meter to determine problem areas: standing waves, first reflection points, second reflection points, echo, sound pressure level peaks much greater than average level. There is the related issue of speaker placement, which itself evolves along with the application of room treatments. Looking at room acoustics as a long-term project, be prepared to relocate speakers along with your program of room treatment.
