Hello from Belgium


Hello all,

Let me introduce myself.
I'm 38 "pro" classical musician maried and two kids.
Seven years ago we build a nice house with big rooms etc. and like it very much.
Only thing we did not think about was acoustics and that is really a mess.
And if I say a mess it really is.

I like big open space with few furniture but that makes the rooms sound like a church.
So no I'm gone do something about it and from this day I will start learning how to fight it.

Hope you don't mind me asking for any usefull info.
BTW any other people from Belgium or shops dedicated to acoustics?

Johan

Welcome, Johan.

I would start with a thick carpet and pad, if you don't have it already.
"As a rule of thumb, try to cover 1/3rdof all surfaces with something soft."
And EQ your sub!


We are the Shack. Existence as you know it is over.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be mapped. Resistance is futile.
