room setup suggesion needed
Hi everyone,
The question is for gurus of room setup.
Question is if anyone can suggest improvement of the situation where there is not much room for adjustment.
So there you go:
1) Room conditions
room size 30ft x 30ft
audio wall with the location near centerline
rehearsing distance from the wall 9ft
sound focal point with speakers directed 8ft sound cross path directly at rehearsal point ( not much room to adjust focal point could be pushed back max 3ft, not too happy about that idea)
speakers spread at 10ft center to center ( could be spread possibly to max 12ft with given wires)
speaker face 2ft off the wall less than 1ft space behind ( could be moved forward and tilted)
wall treatments floor dampening as well, floor standing speakers on spikes.
2) SYSTEM SPEC
speakers JBL 4367
speaker wires FURTECH Douglas 7ft be-wire Rhodium spades
Amp Pass Labs X250.8
Pre amp Pass Labs XP-12
Phono Pass Labs XP-15
Turntable VPI Classic 1 JMW 10.5 Hana ML
Server Mac mini
DAC Schiid Modius balanced out
inter connector cable Canari XLR
system fully balanced
power cables FURTEH
Honestly system sounds really good, but better is enemy of good so is there anything I can do better or is there anything that I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks for opinions!
@whart point taken, I'm planing to do some new arrangements in the room over the weekend I wonder where it will get me. I need to move point of impact of 38Hz wave about 2ft forward, the only thing I can't do anything about is ceiling height. I build great sounding rooms before but never for speakers that size. |
@erik_squires I'm not playing Erik. The only people who believe in bass traps are the people who sell them. My only motive is to keep people from wasting their money. Measuring and listening to bass is very tricky as it depends on exactly where you are in the room even with distributed subwoofer system. Several inches can produce a noticeable change in bass quality and a microphone is no different than your ear. The so called theory behind bass traps is the material they are made of absorbs bass energy, at locations where standing waves are likely, turning it into heat. It is a perversion of the reason we stuff speaker enclosures full of fiberglass or polyfill. Except in side s speaker enclosure the changes in pressure are at least a magnitude greater, if not two, than what you have in a room. |

Another reason for raising the speakers off the floor is woofer floor bounce which can also effect the upper and lower midrange. See page four in the article here. For what its worth, JBL made a speaker with a concrete base; notice the woofer height about 12'' or more off the floor in the pic see here.😎 Mike @erik_squires Wrote:
