The next room I want to treat is a 15’x20’x10’ living/theater room that will hopefully double as a live room by removing a few pieces of furniture. There is an adjoining 12’x15’x10’ dining room, and an opening to the entryway. The room has some nice wood paneling that I’d like to cover as little as possible. The room sounds fairly good as a live room now, but I’m sure some absorption (not too much), bass traps, and diffusion could really make it better. I think some wide-band absorbers (6” safe ‘n sound) would work nicely on the walls and ceiling in the middle of the larger sections, but I’m struggling to figure out a good way to implement bass traps in this room (see pictures). I can easily do some bass traps on the ceiling near the entryway or in the corners of the dining room without looking too out of place, if that would help. I’m also wondering if there would be good ways to add diffusers to this room without taking too much wall space. What about doing binary amplitude diffusers on the wide-band traps (not enough surface area?)? Maybe 2-D QRDs put on the floor during recording could reduce flutter between the ceiling and large tile floor?
Thanks in advance.
