Revisiting an old blog – Room Treatment & Room Acoustics

Last weekend saw the return of the UK HiFi Show Live at Ascot Racecourse, due to one reason or another this is the first time this event has been on since 2019 so it was a welcome return. It was a great weekend, it’s always good to catch up with industry friends, existing customers and meet new customers too.

I had several conversations over the weekend with people about Acustica Applicata, some who already own the brand and several others who are interested in experiencing what it can do to their system and room. Many people are continuously upgrading their systems but are actually missing on potentially the biggest upgrade you can make and it is an upgrade to arguably the weakest link, the room itself.

Popular acoustical problems includes things such as…..

  • Confused and ponderous bass weight and resonances due the loudspeakers being too close to the corners of the room
  • A harsh, forward sound, caused by backward reflections and the listening chair being hard up against the rear wall
  • Too many forward reflections causing a squashed soundstage,
  • Sitting too close to the speakers so there is a hole in the middle of the soundstage.
  • Too much reverb and resonant energy, which does not have time to dissipate which kills dynamics, especially at low volumes
  • An unbalanced image caused by poor speaker up and or bad acoustics (one speaker firing into a window or armchair for example)
  • Existing room treatment that has been poorly executed can also have a negative impact on a room/system as well

Any of the above sound familiar? They can all be solved with the correct product implemented in the right way.
