Windows in a listening room

Windows let in noise and light. I shuttered mine, more like doors really, solid MDF panels dramatically reduce noise and light. Closed flush, its almost like no windows at all.

When I first put them on it was fun to bring people in the room, close the door, let them get used to the quiet. Then close one shutter. Watch the look on their face. The noise that comes through a window, we are so used to it, its so nearly white-noise diffuse, its hard to notice until its gone.

geoffkait, I went and looked at Marigo’s tuning dots and must say:  the web site doesn’t do a great job of explaining their virtues.

It also rings like a banshee and flutters like a wounded duck. The room is like the inside of a drum.

@geoffkait   Does this serve 'less pressurization' (versus more)? Thanks.

I've got two large windows in my room that I was convinced were causing problems.Until I began placing bass traps and panels over them.It surprisingly did nothing to improve the sound.The corners and the front wall were the culprits.I live in a rural area so soundproofing isn't an issue.

The Marigo web site for the VTS Dots looks good to me. What’s yer beef? There is a wide range of sizes and applications for the dots - from glass windows to walls to speaker diaphragms to printed circuit boards to chassis to capacitor to vacuum tubes, and beyond
