I urged to further optimize the sound quality of my music room, I have figured out to install bass trap to reduce low frequency bouncing within the walls. Thinking out of the box, I have decided to use low cost solution by using rugs. At the same time not to jeopardize the aesthetic of the room I uplift the rugs by turning them into platinum album lookalike.
Nice décor for your room, I don’t know that I would hang my records on the wall like that. The records and album covers are hard surfaces hence they are reflectors of sound just like the wall behind them.
Very nice. The room looks like a 80s sanctuary Not sure how much effect (and what will really it be) those rugs do, but they look nice.
Nice Decor. You seem to like all the artists I was into in the 80s. Did you like them back then ? I am still into them now and it is far easier to see them in concert nowadays than it was back then. In fact Belinda Carlisle was on the same bill as the Human League p.s Crazy 80s outfits aren't compulsory but many people at the concerts seem to like wearing them.
The covers on the wall can act as a diffuser rather than whole piece of completely flat wall. Thats the idea to combine absorption and diffusion
Thanks Hugo. In fact carpet and rugs are claimed to be good sound absorption material at some level. https://homecarpetone.com/blog/2013...xtremely_Effective_at_Sound_Absorption/ar/18/ That's why I also make sure to have carpet to suppress sound bounce to the minimum.
Please put on your headphones and listen. The sound recorded purely from the speaker that fill the room itself and not a wired audio input recording.
That is a real nice decor you've gotten yourself: your Boss (as in your avatar) is not just Beautiful but also too kind to you for allowing all this!!! You are one lucky dude!!! Not sure about bass traps needed for mini-monitors, and extra bbox speakers in the room sound iffy (I even hide my iPhone when planted onto my sweet-spot!) but it looks real nice!
Thanks Jorge. Initially this plan never crossed my mind until I notice that my 3 inch cherry wood JVC speaker delivered that kind of punch I couldn't expect. It looses all the clarity of the bass due to immense reflection of the naked wall. Now I can enjoy the clean bass and in fact you don't need to increase the bass to the max. The separation of the high and low frequency is indeed significant.
I'm not a sound engineer, I just crank up my full size speakers in my little office and it sounds great. I have watched the sound check guys carry around a tablet to measure the sound in concert venues, I wonder if there's a home version, it would be nice to find the blur spots in the room.
