Acoustic treatment for side glass doors / please, need ideas.

Sadly, wife's home renovations forces me to move my audio system from the family room (not the best place anyway) to a small room but with side glass doors (sadly yes, BOTH sides). Room is small, 15"(L) x 10"(W) x 9"(H) . I was considering install drapes (maybe better, roller shades) because in that area cant have fixed solutions. I really need some advice here because this change can ruin my relax moments listening my records and having a glass of scotch.
Thanks in advance

Sloryder, thanks that's a good idea, I'm sure my wife and I can get an agreement on that.

Blackout drapes are good ideas.  Used them myself. Work really well.

I also want to suggest, that while imperfect, treating what you can can make up for what you can't. For instance, extra thick rugs, ceiling treatment, and diffusors between the speakers may not fix the glass, but they can make things so much better.

Best,

Thanks Erik, I think I have a good idea about what to do with side walls.
Back wall will be fully covered with a LPs rack, right to letf floor to ceiling. About front wall,  any experiences with bass tube traps in the corners?

Bass traps are great, also suggest considering diffusion, especially behind and between the speakers.

Contact GIK acoustics for pro level help, and very cost effective products.

Best,

Also, you can experiment a little with pillows and blankets. Try throwing them around on the floor, between and behind the speakers. :)


Best,
