The other problem with the carpet option, is while it could deal with the first reflection- it can deaden the room in the Treble range, and make things worse. As it is, I have sucked out most of the treble reverb time that I I feel comfortable with.
most of my absorbing panels are mounted up...
Yes, hard tile on top of cement on risers- I hate it. I have a question out to my acoustic tech if carpet will address the early reflection frequency issue I am having. I am worried it won't treat low enough. I also have a little bit of a lens effect coming off of the concrete curved...
4" Alpha Panels- we got 8 of them I am still moving them around to find the ideal sweet spot. I LOVE how these look!
The New Ceiling. I moved the 2D geofusors to other areas, and now have a full 1D Gridfusor Ceiling.
4 Monster Bass Traps in Various corners... still tweaking them for...
Update!
my GIK order arrived. Pictures will be here soon, but first, the graphs.
First, the "not there yet" parts of the room.
Clarity is not super hot. I think this is the chart that shows what I am hearing in terms of loud early reflection muddiness. I love that REW offers C50 and C80...
Ok, an update! My GIK order of alpha 4s, monster bass traps, and gridfusors comes this week. I am also writing a grant for a 6" layer of owens corning to be put in the perimeter above the ceiling tiles of the hung ceiling of this room where the dotted line is to absorb some of the bass...
Ok, My order went in today to GIK. I wanted to ask advice about QRD diffusion in banks as it applies to this room, how it relates to the Barker Code, and the height of the panels above ear level. There are multiple "complications" to this next decision.
I am going to put a bank of 13-17...
Ok, to update folks that are following this, JWK from GIK was super helpful and took a crazy amount of questions from me.
His thoughts were similar to what I was worried about- pulling too much treble out.
Pending my accounting department's red tape, We are going to get......
4 2x4"...
Today's charts from yesterday's work. Speaker in the 2/3 off center, 6 feet from the back wall. Calibration mic on the center podium.
Fewer slices.
The SPL is getting better. I have gotten rid of some of the extreme 30 dB peaks.
Sonnie, I do think I need some panels lower... Finding spots for them is more tricky due to existing furniture, chalk boards, etc. I still have budget left.... so I would likely add rather than move, unless I am going to deaden the room too much in certain frequencies.
The upper ones...
Thanks! That is a happy coincidence.. I was just looking at their gridfusors, and am looking to buy 5 or 6 boxes for one of my other more straightforward rooms. :) The new panels are all 2" deep the first picture's worth were all 4" broadband absorbers.
I am working on treating 3...
Not your typical theater install :)
I am getting a large music rehearsal room treated this month, and have most of the first orders of absorption and diffusion installed. I have met the low end recommendations in terms of square footage of treatment from a few different companies that I had...
