Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.


Why?  Because acoustical treatments presented are in virtually empty rooms. Unrealistic.

my rooms have furniture and clutter.  These rooms don’t really have a need for treatment.  It’s snake oil, voodoo science.  
So why is accoustical panels gonna help?  No one can answer this, most have no clue.

Any good aps that can evaluate room accoustics?

saw one called clapIR but didnt understand graphs created
I don’t know that I have enough data to agree or disagree with the assertion of ’most rooms’, but my roughly hexagonal shaped room even with a bed in the room needed one acoustic panel on the 1st reflection point on the left to balance out the sound from the left and right speakers.

Know what, that one acoustic panel transformed my room into one of the best sounding rooms I’ve heard anywhere.
@jumia For apps that can evaluate room acoustics, your own ears are pretty good. Once you hear a good sounding room it's easier to hear when a room doesn't sound right.

i understood you perfectly, a room could be transformed by ONE single straw...

For uneducated mind it is magic or snake oil...

For Helmholtz and me now, pure acoustic science, a science far more important for audio experience than electronic engineereing and in the worst case on par with electronic engineering....

For sure Helmholtz results are integrated in electronic design itself now, but i speak for those who could  use his results like me at low cost in acoustic of room, like his famous sets of bottles....This experiment i go on with to reach new  suprizing result for  my speakers, cost me NOTHING... This is the gist of the journey i started....

Others will prefer to buy a costly equalizer without even knowing the limitations of this gear in acoustic settings....

I dont have the money to buy plug sit and boast.... 😁






But for you i offer my deepest respect and thanks for your observation useful for all.... 😊



Correction...the full quote from the Dynaudio website is:

 “the DSP engineer does not know the problem but has the solution. The acoustician knows the problem but can’t imagine the solution, so he doesn’t ask the DSP engineer.”
