Wow I’m so impressed with the finished result - both in looks and the response you’ve achieved.. I am considering the slatted wings approach for my studio as a way of getting some thicker absorption and improving reverb time. I read your post on what wood sizes you used etc but what was this based o...

Hi all I can't believe it's been three months since I last posted about this (sounds like a confessional!). I've been focussing on building my business processes and website etc but I did a mix last week that I had to go to and from the car and hifi in house to get the bass right. I therefore though...

Thanks for sharing my picture Starlight! It’s nice to know my thread can be of some help to others. In my case I intentionally picked where the windows and door would be to avoid reflections, rather than choosing their location first.

Hi Glenn Sorry to jump in on someone else’s thread with a question about my own design, but it seems appropriate as it might impact on the choices made here too. In my design I have hangers underneath the soffit shelf open to the room, much like this design. I didn’t put a piece of ply or MDF over t...

Hey Baris
It’s great to see you on here - I think you’ll get some excellent advice on your design. Stuart’s proposal to tape out the area in a room in your house is a great one. Good luck!

Cheers
Gareth

Merry Christmas all! Hope you have a few days of rest

Amazing work Starlight! Enjoy your rehearsal and hop the lockdown isn’t too prolonged.

That's really interesting, thanks Jennifer. The room dimension with the f0 at 150ish is the height, so I thought I'd have a look at before/after the ceiling treatment (100mm rockwool). I'm not very good with how REW represents phase other than knowing the abrupt vertical line is wrapping the reading...

Looking good! Are they your soffit walls or part of the rear treatment?

Hi Jennifer Please do! The sharp nulls in the mid band are concerning (phase related?) and of course this dip between 60 and 100. As I’m on my phone just now it’s easiest to share via Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/46v8twtihj5oa1a/Gareth%20sub%20and%20floor%20bounce%2020nov21.mdat?dl=0 Any thoug...

Thanks Glenn. At this stage the sub isn’t part of my system, and as such I don’t have a crossover other than the built in one. I tried the sub only to see if it made the room perform any differently, to help understand the next steps for treatment. I thought it interesting that the sun doesn’t actua...

I have completed a few experiments today, with the following results. 1. I took a new REW reading of the room, and then added my spare GIK traps to the floor between monitors and desk. Although these are only 50mm thick, I figured they would do something about the floor bounce if that is the issue. ...

Interesting thoughts there from both of you. I note your observations about floor bounce Jennifer, but the fact that these frequencies (62, 100ish and 150ish) are axial modes it does seem likely that they are not SBIR. As I have some spare absorbers and a (currently unused) subwoofer, it seems the n...

That’s what I’d been wondering - are the dips around 60, 100 and 150 causing me to accentuate those frequencies? This is why I’m considering the proposal to build tuned absorbers at these frequencies. In fact, I thinking about it there was one track in particular and I bet I have the version 1 mix s...

Hi both and thanks for your thoughts. The soffit mount was done as well as I could and the speakers floated using sorbothane hemispheres, with the choices of hemisphere done using advice from the company I bought them from. I 'think' therefore that the speakers are isolated from the structure. I don...
