For various reasons, I need to analyze a sound in a room. The sound is not a frequency sweep, rather it is an intrusive sound into my theater. I need to analyze it to see what frequencies are dominant in the sound to begin to find solutions to dampen and eliminate it. Trouble is, I do not know...

Hi guys, I've attached a waterfall plot of my room and the frequency response (no smoothing). I have most of my acoustic treatments up, including bass traps, diffusers, and front/back wall absorption. Side wall absorption is still to come as well as the EQ. I need some help in understanding...

Thanks for the help. Perhaps I'll open it up and see if I can fix it.

Yes, get sound out of all speakers and sub. I did get it used, for free!

Looks awesome, I love the acoustic treatments!

Hey guys, I have a Marantz SR7011 which has Audyssey XT32 with SubEQ. I tried running the calibration yesterday and it gives me errors. Specifically it says: 1. "Subwoofer volume too low." 2. "No Speakers connected." Neither of these are the case as both the subwoofer and speakers reach...

Great, I got it to work. Thank you so much for this!

Hey guys, I have the opportunity to grab a JVC X3 for cheap. This would be an upgrade. Only thing is, the HDMI ports do not currently work. I'm not willing to purchase and have repaired (too expensive). Do you all have any tips/threads on how to fix a faulty HDMI port? I know there are other...

Ha, thank you! When ever I do a frequency sweep, it will also measure so that it displays a waterfall, correct?

Hey folks, I've done this before in the past but can't for the life of me remember. I have a Umik-1 microphone hooked up to my laptop and want to perform measurements for my subwoofer. How do I access the waterfall plots? I can't seem to remember where to click or what to specify in measuring...

I had the same question when building the panels for my theater. I ended using rockwool, given how cheap it was, although I did opt for the rigid rockwool and not the Safe n' Sound you're referring to. I covered all front and sides but not the back, as the back was up against the wall. In terms...

I guess a studio has a bit different requirements (more strict I'd say) than a HT? That might also factor into whether the treatments are beneficial around the surrounds.

Wow, looks great. Coming along nicely.

Frank Toole, in his well-known book, suggests diffusers alternating with absorption for the best effect in a surround sound environment. What I have been thinking lately though is that most diffusers need a good bit of space between it and the listener to be effective. Something around 3-5'...

I certainly think that it is possible to overdue it. As with anything, what you're looking for is "good enough" as you can keep on scrutinizing the acoustics (or any other area, for that matter) without ever finishing. Some think this is the virtue of building yourself, as the project is never...
