    Specialized music room

    I want to shear with the forum my new project

    as many know room acoustics are a important factor in what we perceive hear etc.

    speakers are very important but the rooms plays a big role of the end

    in the garage i have a storage room that will be transformed in and entertainment room office etc
    the dimensions of the room are 5.33m x 4.11m x 2.30m
    i wish i had a bigger space but you usually en up working with a preconstructed place.

    here are some pictures







    all that stuff will be moved to a new storage room or given away

    Front Wall

    Will consist of: center panels will be 8" mineral wool pure absorption panels in gray
    side panels are diaphragmatic panels tuned to around +-70hz

    side walls center panels consist of quadratic diffusers 8" deep 4 x 6 foot section and a mixed diffusion absorption panel 4x4foot
    top and bottom diaphragmatic panels tuned to +-100hz 2"deep units

    back wall center part 5 inch pure absorption with side with 2d qrd diffusers that i already have .

    the celling is still too be designed

    I envy you Valentin. That setup has all the potential of a very nice intimate listening room to get away from the world via music. That and I nice cold longneck will make your evening! What area of Mexico are you!

    Looks good and you really need those 70Hz and 100Hz panel absorbers.

    Shame about the ceiling height. Is the floor carpet?...if so that's enough absorption on the floor/ceiling plane. I would just make that ceiling as diffusive as you can as you don't want to kill the room entirley with too much absorption - you know the QRD's will give a little absorption as well?

    thanks

    i am form mexico city

    yes i will try too have a balanced RT time

    the qrd have +-.2 absortion coeficent i have the data and will make the full room calulations

    on the celling i was thinkig of some slat and some more difragmatic y and some sort of diffuseing system

    still on the drwing board

    i do have 6 2 by 2 foot 2d qrd 5" deep i cuold use does with the upper options

    Is there any way you can measure the 1/3 octave RT's as you add the various treatments?

    Once you get that reasonably flat, you can also check if the membrane absorbers are working as you expect below approx. 100Hz. It's the best way

    The good thing about a symetrical room like yours is that the strongest room modes are easy to predict and you should be able to tune the membrane absorbers to offer peak absorbtion those frequencies. Best to measure though as membranes don't always react exactly as predicted.

    thanks

    yes i do have measurement equipment up to 1/24 octave

    yes a rectangular room is and advantage in prediction of standing waves

    this are estimation of course with measurements you get the real thing

    i plan to fill in all most all the volume of the diaphragmatic panels with mineral wool so that way they have a broader response at the cost of a little Les efficiency

    that way intonation does not have to bee that exact

    high Q intonations are tricky and too specific form my experience

    Very nice, please update with more photos as your project moves forward.

    Maybe I missed it but what speakers are you going to use in the room?

    Have you done a several frequency sweeps with the room as present (a before and after thing so to speak).

    Looks like a nice project.

    Will be a very pro-looking (and hopefully sounding) space
