Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?

Who needs treatments? I just turn the volume up more. :-)

I like Jloveys' approach also. He is breaking up the reflections with good decorating choices. I can't say that is what I've done and I don't have much room for additional furniture. After finding some recipes online I have made many bass traps. About 12 circular and 5 panel type. It has helped my room quite a bit, and believe me the room needs help being the typical finished basement with drop ceiling. Now that I have most of my system together I may try some commercial products to see if they are even better. ASC, GIK, RealTraps are all good places to checkout.

I have an unconventional room which does not allow for the normal treatments you see in the application guides from the various purveyors of acoustic treatments. It has required over six months of trial and error with various panels from GIK and Acoustical Solutions placed in different locations. I use a combination of 2", 4", 6" thick GIK absorber panels along with Acoustical solutions diffusor panels. There are also four 9"x6' ASC tube traps near each corner boundary.
The room has thick carpet on a concrete floor and sheetrock walls. The left wall is pretty much all windows with wood shutters over them. The front wall has french doors in the middle with an entry foyer behind where I have placed two of the big GIK traps. The back wall has one large GIK trap up in the right hand corner and the remainder of the back wall are four 2'x2' diffusor panels. The right wall has some 2" GIK panels up high on the partial wall that separates the living area from kitchen/dining along with two big GIK traps atop the plant shelf.
I keep improving on a "less than ideal" room. The acoustic treatments do result in improved sound and imaging. I'm mostly done but still have a few ideas I'd like to try. Unfortunately it is expensive if you buy 500.00 worth of product and it doesn't work out.

I did not plan this, but I have about 10,000 lp's.
They cover both of my side walls and front wall.
This came about after moving my system and lp's into the
same room a few months ago. My ceilings are nine feet tall
and with a nice rug on my hardwood floors I could not be
happier.

I use Michael Green's basic kit, works well and is cheap. At one time I had a complete live end -dead end room using Sonnex.

Cdk84, my dedicated listening room is 16'w 23'lg and 10'h.
I have treated all of the corners and first reflection side wall areas with RealTraps' MondoTraps and MiniTraps The difference is not small. I suggest thet you go on RealTraps web site where they have an abundance of information. If you want to talk to someone, call and ask for Ethan or Jim . They are great guys to deal with and have a world of experience.
Good Luck.
