Acoustic treatment ideas


Hoping someone out there has a similar situation they have solved or mitigated.

I have an open floor plan with acoustic panels on several walls, nothing on the 8ft ceiling, and several reflective surfaces.

TV between speakers on the wall

large picture window, and French doors on back wall (not directly behind speakers), glass door china cabinet on right wall, no window treatments.

rear wall which is entrance to the house has 2 large picture windows with blinds.

If I hang blankets over the cabinet, tv and rear wall windows I definitely hear an improvement- much better sound stage, but it’s a pain and looks awful.

There is a pic in my v system that shows some of the room

ideally it would be something that could be remove like acoustic fabric if such a thing exists rather than curtains etc.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance!

Glad you got it sorted.  $600 is pretty cheap for big improvements.  I have a velvet acoustic curtain in my room also that works pretty well.  If you have a mic and a laptop you can use software like REW to take some measurements if you’re interested in anything else that might need addressing.

@audphile1 - I have tried pulling the speakers forward (didn’t like it at all) but not with the new room treatments so it is worth revisiting - thanks for the idea
