Sound room basement

Knut Ø. Mikelsen submitted a new Showcase Item:

Sound room basement

Very small Basement room with concrete outer walls. Ceiling is made of acoustic plates Ecophon Focus-C. The walls are covered by huntonit plates (a kind of mdf) and they are about 10-15 cm thick on top of the concrete with 7,5 cm Glava isolation. The concrete floor is covered by Berry Alloc plates.
Size about 3,65m X 4,4m. Height only 2,07 m.
Mainly used for stereo listening, but it also contains home cinema equipment.

Equipment use for stereo: Hegel H160 integrated, Audiovector S3 Avantgarde, Sunfire HRS-12, Source is usually Airplay built in to the Hegel streamed from a Macbook Pro or streaming from Tidal.

Home Cinema equipment: Marantz SR6010, Samsung UBD-K8500, Audiovector C-series as surround speakers, Monitor Audio C256-IDC as atmos speakers built into the ceiling.

I have used some acoustic plates to reduce the first reflection from the main speakers. I used the mirror method to find the placement of those. I have not doen anything with the second reflection because I'm not sure if it would be good for the sound.

I have tested with some big temporary Base traps in the back corners of the room. I can't say that I heard any difference.

Thanks for sharing. I liked the room setup. Very comfortable that is for sure. You will have a great time in the sound room.

Very nice setup. Looks great. Looks more realistic for me then most other HT setups I have been seeing.

Yep... you've done quite a bit with a small room there. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
