Hey Hans-Erik.

I saw that you included some absorption panels to deal with SBIR effects. Did you measure the before and after?
Normally panels this thin have no real influence in that area.

[Hans Erik Sæbø]

Lukas, i used a wave length calculator to find out how thick panels I needed when my towers are this far away from the front wall. I measured before and after, and got rid of a 170hz (if I remember correctly) dip. So those where very effective for me:) those behind the towers and center are way thicker than the side panels:)

[Lukas]

Ah, that is great. I had a lot of customers in the past placing 6cm thick panels behind the speakers hoping it will absorb any meaningful bass, which it of course did not do.
But 170Hz sound much more reasonable.

 

[Hans Erik Sæbø]

These are 15 cm thick panels as well:) so they did the trick!:)

What material did you use?

[Hans Erik Sæbø]

I bought directly from GIK;D

[Hans Erik Sæbø]

Here is an update for you all!:D

This is what i have done since the previous update:

– Added carpets

– Added 1723 heights for front atmos

– Added two more 1723 2v subwoofers

– Added a EPSON EH-TW9400 projector and a 120 inch slim border screen

– Added acoustic treatments behind the 1723 towers to deal with SBIR, on first and second reflection points for both fronts and center and behind the couch

– Added new electrically reclined seats

– Added new NorStone Racks for equipment and center

– ++++

Really happy with the end result!
