Welcome to Acoustic Fields! I'm Dennis Foley, and today we’re diving into a series of "Don't Do This" examples from our database to highlight common mistakes in room acoustics. Learn from others' errors to avoid making them yourself. In this video, we’ll look at several setups, including gymnasiums and two-channel rooms, where good instincts are marred by improper execution. Discover why thin panels, decorative rather than functional absorption, and clutter can undermine your acoustic treatment efforts. Join us to understand the importance of proper surface area coverage and using the right technology for effective sound management.

Very useful. It's good to learn from your own mistakes, but it's a lot less painful and much cheaper to learn from other people's mistakes.

Life is a balance between pain and pleasure, just like in acoustics. Acoustics is a balance between pressure and reflections.

I love taking a room with acoustical treatments and determining problems with what was done. Outstanding and great learning experience. Lots of people just put stuff in a room making it look nice. Although lots of times treated room is displayed are purely listening rooms and most people have them in rooms with all kinds of other furniture. This is an area that's deserving a more focus when you have lots of furniture in the room.😊

The room does not see pretty. The room only sees energy. The energy comes in two forms: pressure and reflections. Lower frequency pressure that does not fit into the room dimensions and middle and high frequency reflections from the walls, floor, and ceiling. The goal is to minimize the unwanted pressure issues (modes) and lower the reverb times created by reflections.

Couple of good tips thanks!

People confuse panel function and placement. Panels can be made to manage all frequency bands. You can have low, middle, and high frequency management panels.They can be either absorption or diffusion You must match the panel type to the frequency, amplitude, and location of your specific room issues. This is where the misunderstanding comes into play. People buy products that do not absorb enough energy at the frequencies of their room issues. Its an improvement over nothing but they still have part of the issue. Its best to fix it once and bedone with it. 100% fixed 100 % right.

thanks for the tip about height , it will benefit me, as I had never even considered anything beyond convenience when placing equipment.

Most VO and Podcasts I see working in an open room face their desks toward a wall so they are speaking a with a few feet between them and the wall. Would it be better to face the opposite direction with 10-15' of space to the far wall?

@AcousticFields 15 күн бұрын

Yes, However, to achieve the best quality sound, you need to lower reverb times in any room.

In the photo of the second room, those speakers (Eggleston) are facing backwards towards the rear wall and those are actually quite large speakers and should be main speakers.

@AcousticFields 14 күн бұрын

The room has much larger issues than speaker positioning.

I just watched an "audiophile" KZfaq channel which had very expensive TAD speakers and what looked to be a fairly expensive Turntable rig playing DSOTM but they had absolutely no room treatment, not even a rug just a bare hard floor and the audio sounded pretty ordinary. I went to the comments and couldn't believe how many we're saying it sounded great, I commented that I was being brutally honest and said it sounds pretty average and got a reply from the channel saying he was being brutally honest and said he and many others disagreed. I guess some people are happy to pay outrageous prices for gear only to ruin the sound by plonking it in a bad room, I seriously think that a lot of people don't actually know what good sound sounds like

@AcousticFields 14 күн бұрын

It is called idol worship. They idolize the gear instead of the music. It would be much better to have the gear disappear and just focus on the music. We believe that the room accounts for 60% of what you hear. More attention needs to be paid to the room sound not the gear sound.

example #1...there is zero indication of ceiling treatment or NOT. There could be plenty of Sabins of absorption at 125Hz to counter the mass of the CMU, etc....likely not...but those two images are NOT the whole story and you should speak to that as well.
