Standing waves

[Wilson M.]

All that math hurts my head. I'm just going to get my acoustical engineer friend to come over with his gizmos and analyse my room. Less error that way.

Shouldn't be hard to find one in your area willing to do that as well. Should only be $200 or so.

The problem is only if you have large, parallel flat surfaces -- these will cause resonances at certain frequencies. The fewer parallel flat surfaces you have, the better. And yes, it is mostly a problem with rooms, and in speaker cabinets some. Rooms, for example, usually have one or two major resonance frequencies (and their harmonics), based on the length and width of the room (floor to ceiling, for some reason, isn't as much of a problem).Only if your head is hollow. (J/K...)

Hey Dusty,

What if I had a room that was 10' x 10' x 10' would that be good?

No, that would suck^3.
