The acoustic treatment can be done in any confined space but it is necessary to design the room accordingly
. Room acoustics is a popular way of generating sound effects in a home cinema system. The best hardware for home cinema set up cannot give the desired effect if the room is poorly designed. Therefore, it is a must to design it properly to achieve the desired effect.
Home Acoustics
The furniture placed in a bedroom has the ability to absorb the sound that reduces the reverberation time. There is a difference between bedroom and normal room reverberation time. It is necessary to keep in mind that less reverberation time is essential to create the perfect audio effect.
If the reverberation time is more, there will overlapping of the words which will distort the sound quality. Similarly, when the sound comes out from the speakers placed at different directions, each effect produced by the speaker is mixed with the other effect resulting in chaos in the room.
Home Acoustic treatments
Every room is not constructed and shaped in a way to have the best sound effects. Therefore, Ayre acoustics or any other acoustic treatment needs to be done to treat excessive reverberation time, which is the reason of distortion of sound. The first is to change the shape of the room for balancing sound waves.
It is obvious that there will be different effects in different shaped rooms. If the room is shaped as a square, the sound coming from the speaker will hit the wall and will come back in the same direction. If the same room has a different shape like of an octagon, there will be some waves which will the wall and come back to it but the maximum waves will bounce to different directions. The bouncing act will lower the energy of the sound and thereby lowering the volume which will help in creating distinct sound effects.
The second way to treat reverberation time is to absorb the sound wave. This seems to be the practical process to enhance sound quality in the room. It can be done by placing acoustic panels made up of acoustic substrate. These panels are finished in a fabric designed to improve the aesthetics of the room along with the sound.
Now you are aware of some of the points that should be kept in mind when buying an expensive home sound system. It may not be the system that is not providing great sound, but your room could also be a factor in your audio experience. So make sure to ask questions and let your sales rep know what kind of room you are looking into getting a system for. It will make a world of difference.
