Hear the difference: Untreated Vs Treated Room Acoustics
can anyone tell me why there was a difference between 0:37 and 1:20 is? why did the first one sound so funky?
Low freq audio wavelengths are monstrous.
Great
The background music playing is very annoying, and competing with your voice. It takes away the quality of your video. Please take my comments as constructive, thank you.
In video length of wave 20 Hz. is noticed mistakenly as speed of sound.
The best advise is to place speakers close to the front wall as much as possible and the minimum for rear ported speakers is actually the diameter of the port. Everyone can mesure with REW and check it. That is why I like the example of flush mounted speakers in studios. The low frequency interference from the front wall is the worst effect in sound. “Audiophiles” did not understood this yet for some reason.
Not with open baffle speakers.
Do you have a video on how you mount these on the ceiling?
I’ll just treat the whole room
Barnet Fair
What happens if you put a pair of speakers all the way in the corners?
That noise in the background was hideous.
What about ceiling?
Interesting take to say "in smaller rooms, it is best to place speakers close to the wall and focus treatment around the monitors" I can see why...I thought more distance was generally better so I'd manage what I could.
What as completely omitted and is paramount for assessing diffusion or absorption is - distance to the listener spot.
Some good general advice and some not so good advice also.
Alright, im new to this so be gental. Im a bit confused and im lookibg for a bit of clarity. I have a pair of Kef Q350's, a Denon X1800H and will be adding a Rythmik 12 inch sub very soon. If I use the USB mic, this program and my laptop to get my room measurments to correct any issues what content am I playing for play back from my AVR in order to get said measurments? Am I missing something in this video?
I did buy 10cm thick bass traps. They did shit in terms of bass trapping. I should probably go for curtains and call it a day then.
the first thing to treat is this haircut
I have 4 panels very similiar to one on the left near the window at 3:43 and I still get quite a lot of room sound when placed next to walls at early reflection points. The other day I got an idea, to put them instead of next to the wall as close to speakers as possible... the listening position feels a lot less verby now, which I like a lot more. But I'm wondering if I might have created some other problems with this solution... can anyone let me know if this is somehow wrong?
For heaven sake lose the annoying background music.
Ironic that a video about improving acoustics would be made by a person with a speach impediment and too loud and distracting background music!
Why the distracting music? The content would not be enough to keep our attention, but the dumb music would?
2:01 what was that about?😂
This looks more complicated than my ex...
Surely carpet is a diffuser not an absorber as it has very little depth and a very distorted surface material 🤔
That’s great. Do you have a video or advise how to mount the panel on the wall but with air gap?
Enjoy watching the video clips. Not sure why you don't post here on a more regular basis.
I had same effect- GIK did a great job designing the panels for my spare room. The before and after was stunning.
No amount of treatment will save that guitar playing.
Naughty Naughty! Lolol.
Perhaps showing installation fully would be helpful, also update this to recommend the 3m claw, those things are amazing
Thin panels reduce high end.. thicker deal with low. a 6" panel with a 2" gap that is sealed in the frame & mounted flush to the wall the will isolate the lower end making the best option for trapping low end. defusion behind you absorption in front & to the sides. you can defuse on the side also depending on the room! This is a summery from the last 3 years of interviews with studio designers & builders.
Are there any considerations for omnidirectional speakers, or would the same principles apply for those types of speakers?
QRD is not hard to figure out.
The difference is pretty redicolous.
Does sitting closer to speakers improve acoustics? How close would you have to sit in order to substantially reduce room reflections?
Much of the information here is spot on, with one big exception. The human ear is not sensitive to the type of diffusion when the diffuse sound is coming from behind the head (front and sides are different). So it doesn't matter if you're fussing about exact formulas. What matters is "visual irregularity" and that you don't cover more than 50% of a module or 30% of your entire back wall with diffusion for a control room. And in fact many types of back wall diffusors can create problematic hot spots. Source: Master acousticians and control room designers Philip Newell and Tom Hidley.
"The human ear is not sensitive to the type of diffusion when the diffuse sound is coming from behind" - there's no such a type of diffusion "coming from behind". The aim of diffusion is phase grating, and no matter where the diffusors are located in the areas of the first reflection points -- they can improve the acoustics of your room if they are properly designed. The rear wall is the most important for the midfrequency range as far as the rear wall receives the most of the energy from the front mounted speakers and the rear reflections can be a big problem if the wall is not properly treated.
So, this is an elaborate advertisement..
The irony of a video about cleaning up your audio experience with a guitar playing throughout masking up the speech legibility.. 😅
What should be the mic gain and sound cards output level while calibrating soundcard
Is it best to just get as many monster traps as you can afford and forget thinner panels (especially if you make music with heavy sub and kicks)? Or should you always mix them with 244 or 242? Might as well go full range no?
I mean no disrespect but the aesthethics of these products are... severely lacking.
Yeah, functional products tends to be like that. They have their priorities straight IMO.
just use speakers that are appropriate for the size of the room, listen at conversation level, and 90% of that is uneccessary.
Incorrect. Standing waves are always present no matter the speaker size.
Stereo dates from late 1950’s as a recording option. Even the Beatles didn’t record in stereo but their latest albums.
I want to measure all 5 ear level speakers, how do I get the Center and side surrounds? You just did the left and right front speakers? Should the receiver level be set at reference level? Should speaker levels in the AVR be set at 0.0? I need details!
I can not understand that all you acoustic and electro acoustic professors succeed in making the most horrible sound track recordings in your videos. PLEASE dump that idiot background music.
Did you put in cal file 😂 and where to put it? Thanks
