ur great dennis! i'm always entertained as well as educated by all ur vids. i love ur level of confidence and the fact that it's based off of all of ur experience in building the room size data base. coupled with absolute intelligence and shear innovation, you most def have an extremely high understanding of acoustics and the laws that govern it. which is why i find ur lack of tolerance for acoustical incorrectness, (if u will) amusing and valid. it's refreshing in a lot of ways. ty for another great vid acoustic fields. keep up the good work.
So I see all these videos on YT about ultra-high end systems and many times I see basic problems with the set-ups, e.g. large windows, giant speakers in tiny rooms and lots of stuff between the speakers. And I think a lot of these people would be well-served to watch your videos and consider some basic principles.
B, Its all about presentation value because as you have pointed out, it sure ain't about sound quality. I saw ad the other day with a 5' - 4-way with a 12" driver 8" away from a plate glass window. I actually went into a client's room in LA and he had his 6' high, Italian 200 K speakers sitting in a glass mirrored room elevated on a 6" glass platform. He wanted me to help him with better sound. I called Uber.
After watching Dennis I am a COmplete Idiot the way I have my room besides the fact that i really need it to look nice as well as sound descent. and if its any way Dennis can help me with what i already have and add some of his carbon stuff he talks about I d send him the money.
That's a lot of money for a small room!! So based on what you've said in your videos it sounds like larger volume rooms typically require less absorbers than smaller volume rooms. Is that correct? If so,, its a no brainer to opt for a bigger room. What about basements?. Many of us don't have any other real estate to work with in our homes except basement space. Do rooms with concrete walls require more absorption or less than stick framed rooms given the same volume?
Usage, room size and volume along with a whole host of many other variables need to consider. There are no general "rules". Music and voice play by their own rules.
Dennis, I love your videos. I'm working on a DIY basement office with foot traffic and toddler noises above me (thuds and highs). Rather than applying 1lb MLV and drywall *directly* to the joists above me, would it be beneficial to frame out a new ceiling completely decoupled an inch or so from the joists above?
Acoustic Fields I figured, you use so many different ways and videos to explain the same thing. It's understandable but you must deal with a lot of people who are not convinced and just want the sound. Anyway thank you. You have educated me.
O, People believe what they want to believe. I have no control over that. I offer 40 years of experience building rooms and creating technology that actually works to solve issues.
Bass traps that weigh over 200 pounds are not practical. What is the middle ground between Owens corning which is a carcinogen and causes breathing issues and these very heavy very expensive carbon based absorbers? Something your average person can afford and build themselves?
Brutal! The best i have ever listen about acustics, period.
Thank you. We try and make the complicated simple.
Watched a few videos. I absolutely love the way you present your knowledge and everything it's so interesting! I susbscribed :)

Hi MiK, Thank you for your support and following.
Where is this room size database you speak of?

@@AcousticFields i can't stop laughing
@@AcousticFields lol
great video for beginners! thanks Dennis

Amazing knowledge you share here. Thank you
Very informative and helpful. Thanks!
Hi Bruce, Thank you for your support.
Love your videos ,what do you suggest for an upstairs loft room with only two walls ?
You will have to create a three wall inverted - U with a front wall and 2 sidewalls.
Do the treatment plans include the schematics and material specs for building the diaphragmatic cabinets?
That is their definition.

still the best

S, What is the frequency and amplitude of your noise issues?
@@AcousticFields I'm going to have to figure that out, I really don't know. The primary concern my gut tells me is low frequency - thuds and walking.
3:00 well would you look at that! so seldom someone properly uses the word *ACRONYM* . thank you.
Is there a video about how to keep the sound (especially bass) from leaving the room?
thank u
S, Yes, search for barriers
Does that mean there is nothing cheap about properly treating any size room for a home theater?
O, Small rooms produce large issues. Large issues need large amounts of treatments. Materials and labor cost money.

J, We have a complete DIY series where you can build our 230 lbs absorbers.
HAW DO YOU NOW WHAT THE ROOM I HAVE
Rooms are predictable and consistent in their issues, especially concerning low frequency.
