Hi! I've been working on our home theater room/living room and ran across REW during my research of room acoustics. I purchased a CM-140 SPL meter and have generated what I believe to be a valid set of measurements. No BFD or other EQ in my possession at this time.
My primary goal is to clear up muddy dialouge experienced while watching movies. My hope is that REW will help me identify the problems with my room and my AV setup.
A bit of background info: It's a 12 x 19 room with a ceiling that slopes from 9' at the front wall (AV Equip) down to 7' in the back (listening position).
I'm close to buying acoustic panels, as others I've spoke with believe that the sloping ceiling and other hard surfaces are causing too many reflections in the room and is my major problem. I believe I'm seeing this in the waterfall graphs, and i have a basic comprehension of what all the graphs are telling me, but I would appreciate any feedback anyone may be willing to offer, before heading off to the room acoustics forum.
Thank you for your input!
