hi all ,
I am trying to set up a new home theatre in a all new built room , the size is 11 *19 and the ceiling is around 13 feet high , the problem is the echo , if i have a false roofing will the echo be arrested or is it necessary that i should go for these bass traps , absorbers etc etc ... since my budget is minimum i want to choose either one

"if i have a false roofing"
Do you mean a dropped acoustical ceiling?
Also, is this room carpeted or hardwood/laminate flooring? Big difference with the flooring. |

I tamed a room echo with the simple addition of a heavy wool tapestry hung on the wall opposite the speakers. the room is about 25' long and the echo from the far wall was Very distracting.
For booming bass, you can try to elevate the speakers, move them away from corners, or move them away from the back wall, any of which will help.
google: bass trap, and look up DIY stuff using DC703. simple, effective and not too much $.
Other room treatments to consider include carpeting and 'soft' furniture..... |
