Covering the corners - floor and walls + roof and walls with something diffusing or absorbing is probably the most important, a corner is a perfect for reflecting incoming sound back in source direction. After the corners come the other 90 degrees angles bit hey are not as critical, but a soft longhaired carpet along the walls or on the walls up to around a meter height is good.

I have encountered reverberation issues with an Ambisonic installation, of dimension 5x5x2.5 meters (a squashed cube, so to speak). I have noticed that reverberation is due to the proximity to the surrounding walls (7x12x6), causing imperfect appreciation of the spatial sound designs when heard in the middle of the cube. Assuming that this is the correct understanding of the problem I was wondering if: - surrounding the cube with the following foam material http://www.anyfoam.co.uk/sheet-foam.php <http://www.anyfoam.co.uk/sheet-foam.php> (the acoustic foam) would significantly reduce reverberation effect to better the definition inside the cube? - where exactly would be best to put the foam? Would just the sides (excluding floor and ceiling) of the cube be enough ? - should reducing the overall sound power improve the situation? Looking forward to hear your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your help Thank you kind Regards Tommaso -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
