Re: Is a soundbar really necessary?
I see a lot of people talking about the soundbar when in essence this isn't something I have ever considered purchasing. I think soundbars are better suited for small rooms. The best option is to invest in good quality audio.

Re: The size of the room
You might do a search here for "small rooms" and "room modes."

Re: The shape of the room
Square rooms aren't good because room modes are strong. You would definitely benefit from multisubs - in any small room actually - but even more so if the room is square.

Re: Sound for small gym
Room modes are less a problem in large rooms. The bigger problem in gymnasiums is the hard, reflective surfaces on all sides. It makes a midrange reflection problem, and a lot of echo. The directivity of the speakers will help, and that's sometimes as...

Re: Easy way to stop an echo in a large room?
I had no idea that this was the case as the assumption has always been that the smaller the room, then the less the distance sound has to travel in order to produce an echo. I will probably have to research more on this.

Re: Easy way to stop an echo in a large room?
If I understand correctly, large rooms will make the frequencies travel longer hence their energy won't be that much already they reach the walls. What about concerts in open areas, is the echo setting from the equalizer needed?

Re: Easy way to stop an echo in a large room?
Echo is caused by the environment, not the source. That said, the amount of reflection can certainly be different at higher frequencies than at lower frequencies, and usually is. It's easy to absorb higher frequencies than low, so it's not uncommon to ...

Re: Small-room acoustics
The problem in small rooms isn't sound pressure level, because that's easy enough to fix simply by turning the volume down. The problem is room modes; Regions that have no bass at some frequencies adjacent to regions with too much bass at some freque...

Re: Diffusion or absorption?
You can measure the length of time it takes for sound to decay -30dB (called T30) or even -60dB (called T60). The shorter the delay, the more highly damped the room. In recording chambers and other critical listening rooms, typical decay time (T60)...

Re: Improvements
I've been in some rooms with wood floors over crawlspaces that made everything sound very "nasal," sort of like the way a bathroom can sound. Even though the rooms were large, they sounded hollow like a small room does. The crawlspace formed ...
