Re: Over Trapping a Dead Room


I have another acoustic question for you guys if you would be so kind...

There is a ton of information available on the placing of acoustic panels at the first reflection point..but it seems to all refer to the standard setup, with your L&R speakers being either floor-standing or raised just above the bottom of the screen, as is the situation in most theatres...
It is generally recommended that the acoustic panel be placed on the side walls at the reflection points, from floor to a few inches above the height of the tweeter..
But what about speakers that are mounted above the screen?
My tweeters are about 18" below the ceiling!..Surely a floor positioned panel isn't go to be of much help down there..
Should my treatments be more in the wall ceiling corner at the first reflection point?

At the moment I have floor to ceiling suede curtains from the front of the screen, extending about 6' along the side walls, but no panels at the reflection point..
What would you advise?..
