Is your Home Theatre not sounding right?

Have you ever had difficulty understanding the dialogue in a movie you were watching at home?

Is the bass too boomy or sound too muddy ?

Do your speakers not sound as good as it did in the showroom ?

You’ve installed your speakers, but your room still doesn’t sound right. You room’s acoustics have a greater effect on the ultimate sound of your home theater than almost any other single component. It can make great speakers sound like garbage and the most carefully designed subwoofer sound boomy.

Have you ever heard how you sound in an empty room? Your voice echoes and travels much farther. As soon as your put your furniture in, the sound of the room changes. This shows how the elements in the room can drastically affect the way sound behaves.

Acoustics is all about managing reflections of sound

Acoustic problems are caused by sound reverberation in the room. Absorptive materials reduce the amount of sound that ricochets from one hard surface to another. The effectiveness of an absorptive material is measured by the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC).

An important point to note is that some reflections are actually important. Reflections aren’t all bad. If you place your speakers outdoors, you’ll find that the sound becomes immediately thin and loses all it’s bass. This is because there is no reflection outdoors.

Overabsorption of sound can make a room sound dead. A great solution for these areas is diffusion. A diffuser reflects sound in random, multiple directions, spreading acoustic energy around. Again, the key to great home theater acoustics is balance.

There really is a big relationship between good room acoustics and getting great sound from your home theater or stereo system. If you don’t get the room right, it’s going to be nearly impossible to get good sound out of even the best speakers money can buy.
