How U determine first and second reflection points


Someone told me following a while ago in room teak thread, but I don't think I understand it well. Any comments?

Have someone sit in the primary listening location, take a mirror to the side walls opposite each speaker and move it until the seated person can see the speaker reflected in the mirror. These are your first reflection points. Start from there.

I found it easier to use a small mirror if I put a lamp (no shade) at the center of the speaker, then, as above, move the mirror until you "see the light".

Other choice is to sketch your room (to scale) and find the reflection point on the drawing (where the "angle in" equals the "angle out"--in other words, the angle the line from the center of the speaker to the wall makes is equal to the line from that same point to the listening position). Lamp is much easier...

I have not worried about 2nd reflections
So, each of the left and right walls will have 2 relection poinsts - one from right speaker and one from left speaker?
Or, each wall will have first reflection point from the speaker on the same side and the reflection of the speaker on the other side is considered second refection point?

seems like slight difference in definiton of first and second reflection point by Tvad and Fmpnd.
Eandylee - Correct, however there are actually more if you take the floor and ceiling into account, and don't discount them as they are quite significant. It's easy to put a rug on the floor - a bit more difficult on the ceiling.
