According to the pro's pros, without a proper analysis of the room, you are guessing, and may make the acoustics worse.
Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all?
Looking to add more acoustic treatment on the wall behind the speakers. Currently using GIK absorption panels (242).
Planning to add two more panels that would hang pretty much directly behind the speakers on the upper part of the wall (higher quality image on my system page).
Any benefit going with diffusors?
Thanks!!!

I have experimented a lot over the years with acoustic panels, mostly from GIK. I have used both ears and REW measurements to accomplish what I like. I am currently all GIK. What worked for me best is: Side walls: Combination of 242s and Alpha 4As Ceiling: 242s Front wall (behind the speakers): Alpha 4A and 6A Bass traps: Alpha 6As (my corners are scaled, with multiple outings, so I can only “tuck them in” with overlapping Alpha 6As) Back wall (behind my listening chair, about 10’ behind): Alpha 6As I like the Alpha series a lot. Very versatile, as they are a combination of absorber, diffuser, and bass trap: https://www.gikacoustics.com/product-category/alpha-series/ |
All…thanks for your thoughts! So since I’m already using the GIK 242 and 244 bass traps in the corners, I’m thinking to add a set of A2 Alpha Pro, exactly the same design pattern @thyname has in his room. Decent amount of absorption and enough diffusion. I don’t want to completely deaden the room. Still researching. Keep the thoughts and suggestions coming. |
