Help Reqd. : LivingRoom HomeTheatre cum ListeningRoom
Dear experts
Note : Sorry for my bad english.
I am in the process of converting my living room to a dual purpose dedicated HomeTheater cum Stereo Listening room. I have attached a rough layout of the living room with the adjacent rooms and a detailed layout of the living room with dimensions.
Following are the color representations in the picture:
*Speakers : Green
*Windows : Blue
*Pillar : Grey
*LCD / Projector screen : Pink
- Living Room dimension 16' x 11' 4" x 9' 6".
- Main Door entry is at the left bottom. A passage to the living room to Dining room is there at the corner and a pillar at the opposite wall.
My Plan:
-------
- To keep the LCD TV and the Projector screen at the wall opposite to the entrance door. (Pink). The LCD and screen will be located to the center of the room width (not centered to the wall) so that the LCD will be more towards the right side of the 8ft wall and the screen will go out of the wall (Pull down screen). The passage will be closed with a convertible sliding door w/ acoustics to get the feel of a dedicated room.
- The flooring will be wooden.
- The Floorstand speakers (green) will be ~5ft into the room but not much from the side walls (1ft max).
- Listening position will be ~10ft from the speakers
- ~1.6ft will be left at the back side of the listening couch / recliner.
- Thick drapers with blackout cloth for the windows.
- False ceiling with mood lighting
- DIY 15" 8cuft subwoofer will be below the projection screen lying flat on the ground (like a furniture cabinet). Center channel will be on top of it.
- The electronics will be on the right side wall of the listening couch
- Acoustics (Help required)..
Please help me in finding the locations (with respect to the picture) for mounting the acoustic panels (both the absorbers and diffusers) and the density required for them including the walls, corners and ceiling.
Note: Aesthetics is not considered at this time, will be fine tuned once the locations are finalised.
Also suggestions for a different layout is also welcome.

Thankyou Bryan for your reply.
Yes, there will be a lot of limitations in doing the acoustics in the living room.
Following are the identified places for the low freq absorbtion (from the pics, identified area is colored; DarkGrey : 4" and Brown : 2"):
- The space between the pillar at the left side wall and the front wall, from top to bottom with ~4" depth.
- Front wall except the open passage
- Right side passage will be covered with a sliding door with low freq absorbtion acoustics. (Not finalised)
- Planning to close the two windows with acoustic backing and openable doors from inside
- At the backside of the listening position, the low freq absorbtion can be applied to the backside of the main door also
Following places are identified for the mid-high freq absorbtion (represented in Brown color)
- At the left and right side wall, the bottom portion of the window after the pillar. On both sides i am planning to do only till 1ft above the speaker\ear level from the floor.
Did i miss any locations? Please comment.
Also I am planning to close the right side corner with a openable sliding door with acoustics. If I keep it open, does it make any difference, if so i will be using a black curtain for the passage instead of the sliding door.
I am looking for a closed dedicated HT room.
Please advise..
