Hi everyone
Having read and listen most Mr. Winer material and a lot of others, this is the place where I am confident to get acurate advices.
First of all, congratulations for your work.
So, here is my project.
I have looked to sound treat my family room that serve as listening and home theater at the same time. The price and flexibility in dimensions / number of pannels didn't fit my expectations, so I decided to go DIY and doing it as a nice hobby project. Attached, floor plan and 3D view of possible finished product.
I would guess this basement L shape room is some kind of a challenge to work out. It is currently under revamping, plaster and paint.
As I remember, bass control is bad and lot of confusion in sound, specially at higher volume live performance applauses and high frequencies for example. I have learned that might be due to to much reflections.
I was thinking of installing a heavy stage curtain (Memorable velour 25oz, the best for sound absorbing) along the 12' opening ( 12"x12" beam) and in front of the window. There is option in fullnessin the curtain from 50% to 100% or more, $$$😬 in order to create waving and more absorption. Considering the lenght, 12' out of 20', is that will deaden to much the room or it is a good starting point?
As for the right front corridor opening, 2 choices came to my mind.
1- building a framed full height hinged panel (similar to a door) to emulate the left side dry wall. Absorbing panel could be incorporated to match eventual left side absoption panel. However corner bass trap would be missing on that side.
2- installing stage curtain, same as described above.
What's your 2 cents on those options.
I am planning to measure the room at the beggining and at each step of treatment. Still need to learn more of REW before. 🙂
Thanks for now,
Alain D.
