Room Acoustics


Could somebody give me a few pointers on where to start, how to determine problems in a room and fix those problems? Perhaps a link to a basic starters page. Do acoustical panels really improve things alot? Can it be done cheaply?

another approach that I did was to use the people at http://www.acousticsciences.com

All you ned to do is to provide them with photos of your room with measurement and where you are sitting and where your speakers and gear is.

They will then provide to you at no charge a CAD of their suggestions on the room modifications.

I used them and my room is flat at all frequencies other than a small 60 Hz bass hump which I can live with.

Acoustic panels do make a difference. Have a look at the photos of my room and you wil see the different size tube traps as well as the sound planks on the front wall.
Read this link it will tell you mostly everything you want to know, and is easy to understand. Also, it has a room calculator to tell you the proper dimensions for your room.It also has a link to a forum if you have any questions.
