[Fincave]

A bit difficult to explain the reflections as am not really into the technical terminology. Basically clapping my hands together resulted in a almost 'ringing' sound that lingered. It seemed as though sound basically bounced around in my room and detail was not good. Now when I do the clapping test the sound stops, is deadened or absorbed by the panels. SQ seems a lot clearer and more detailed and maybe tighter. The room is an apartment built in the 70's and so is basically just concrete/cement slabs that are thrown together, also the floor is laminate and so every surface was hard and reflective, not really much to absorb sound. After doing research on the net I gathered that for good SQ a room needs diffusion, reflection and absorption, hence the diffusors, panels covering some of the walls leaving the rest as hard surfaces allowing for some reflection. As I understand it is not good to deaden a room completely and so I used thinner panels (20mm), also they are only effective from about 100hz upwards, if my memory is correct. It probably still is not perfect but is much better and so I am very satisfied!
