rooms

Hi, I try to measure for the first time a big room with more than 6s of reverberation. It looks like REW can't handle this but maybe I miss something ... If listen to the IR wav file, I can hear a filter cutting the diffuse field ! Also the measurement with a sweep stop before the end of the...

Hello again HTS, First let me thank you for the help several years back as I built my first system and have loved it. Now I'm being commissioned to build another for a friend and am back for more advice. He is building a simple home theater in a room roughly 22'x17'. 50inch t.v. in the middle...

I have 2 rooms to chose from, 26x14x8 or 19x12x8. The smaller room has 1 window the larger has 3, is it splitting hairs on which one is a better size? Both will be dedicated media rooms

Hi all, As requested, I am going to try to describe my rooms (a large Music Room, and a smaller theatre room). I got the idea for using strawbales when I visited a friend who had built one.

Hey all! Was just trying to see what's everybody's take on this one: Last winter I went to a restaurant right about friday night, the kind that has a sit and eat area and a bar area next to each other separated by only a glass wall and some booths... Now don't get me wrong, I love BASS but...

I am just about to start my basement build which will include a Theater Room and an adjoining Game/TV Room in an open layout. Additional plans are going to included Whole-House Audio down the road. I am basically ready to complete the 3 bedrooms in the basement except I have a few things to...

Does anyone have both waterfall and frequency graphs of great-sounding rooms with dimensions and descriptions of furnishings/treatments, e.q. settings (especially just for plain audio, as opposed to home theater) they could share (not even limited to R.E.W. graphs)? Kind of like a "best-of"...
