The bigger the room the better for deep bass. Irregular shapes also help, as was already pointed out. From the description, it sounds as if you have a null at the listening position. If so, the first thing to do is to measure the response in various locations to make sure that this is the case, with, e.g., REW. After all, the louder bass you hear elsewhere in the room could in fact be bass peaks. But if there is indeed a null at the listening position, it cannot effectively be equalized/boosted. The solution would be multiple subs like the Audiokinesis Swarm system.
Open Floor Plan Listening Room
Hi All,
I have an open floor plan listening room. Any ideas on how to close off the room in order to improve lower frequency bass response? I’m looking for room dividers that can be made to close off the space when I want to listen to music, but have aesthetic qualities and can be opened/closed easily. The open plan consists of my living room and kitchen together at 45’ L x 17’ W x 10’ H.
The open section separating the kitchen/living is 15’ W x 9’ H.
I don’t have other room options in my home.
Any help appreciated. Speakers are Apogee Duetta Signature. I have moved them around to make a difference but still need to close off the room behind sitting area to get the lower frequency bass I desire.
TIA!
