Zvinki Part 2, Room acoustics...
a chair and a stereo, hmmmmmmmmmm,
Let me tell all Moonies how to have a better sounding system by FINE TUNEING the ROOM!! Sound echoes, Bass floods, Highs can squeel. Here's some basic rules on room acoustics:
You want your recording to sound as if your in the room with the artists, Voices and instruments should come out of thin air not from your speakers. this is called IMAGING, where the sounds come from where the artist is positioned while playing. Imaging is enhanced if the front-speaker end of the room absorbs echoes. Curtains, Rugs, Plants, bookcases, stuffed furniture, all help to deaden the secondary echoes that make pristene blurry, Windows, empty wall, Hardwood floors all kill Imaging. At the Listeners end the opposite is desired. the "live " end CAN be hard and reflective. this adds to the Concert hall effect of live ambience. ..Also...Front Speakers MUST be away from walls at least a foot, a yard is better, with the tweeters at ear level. The listener should be away from the back wall 1/3 to 1/2 way in. Bass is boomy sitting against the back wall.
Rear speaker placement depends on type. Subbys in front corners are the bassist. Sometimes to boomy. Here's a starter,
ENJOY the Majic
