    PC to replace Xbox console

    Hi, I've been using Xbox One X console as a media player and for gaming in my cinema room. I find Xbox very restrictive and want to switch to using a PC. I found that you can actually connect an Xbox controller to a PC and use it as a console. I have 7.2.4 speaker system with Yamaha A8A...

    Power amp selection

    But what about 5 channel? Does it provide any benefits? This particular amplifier can do 120W with all channels driven. Two front speakers are 250W, the centre one is going to be 200W and all of them 8 Ohms, side speakers (RXFX) I could hook up to the remaining 2 channels are 80W and 6 Ohms...

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    How can I confirm the screen acoustic transparency using REW? I can move subs around the room. I used to have them in the front two corners, now I moved one to the back corner diagonally opposite the first one. REW measurements show improvement in the lower frequencies curve. What do you...

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    What smoothing did you apply to the room frequency response curve? What did you do to correct it? I am not sure if your room is indicative to mine, as mine is a dedicated cinema room with 7.2.4 speaker set.

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    Your curve is pretty smooth, even untreated. How large is your room? Is it a cinema room or a studio? Not sure why it has negative values on the vertical axis on the second picture. Also, what kind of treatment did you put into your room?

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    Before I engage a consultant, I would like to understand the issue myself. Like how bad my room currently is and what a well treated room would look like in REW measurements. Will the curve be 2-3Db variations between the dips and the spikes? Will the RT60 be under .2 etc. What are the...

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    I want to address everything I possibly can. I am even considering making a bass trap out of the riser. The shop I went to provided an advice from a professional. They recommended those Artnovion panels. My concern is how a panel which is only 60mm thick, most of which is air gap, is going...

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    I already have 2 subs. I don't have much flexibility in moving either the seating position or the speakers. I have front speakers behind the screen, surround speakers on the sides and the back and 4 Atmos speakers in the ceiling, my room looks like this: I already have a carpet, but it only...

    Room measurements and what to make out of them

    Hi, I've purchased a calibrated microphone and did my room measurements with REW. Here is the link with my measurements: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At756qpwT4usk9dIWGO1ImZNitHidA?e=VPbAlS I've measured all 6 seats around both right and left ear position 2 times, one time for the right speaker and one...

    My room treatment journey.

    Would you be able to share some details, photos or links? What are PET panels? How do you combine them with "Thermafleece Cosywool"? I also would avoid using any Fiberglass based materials, even for my riser, as some of it may get into the air and lungs.

    My room treatment journey.

    I've put a link to my room info on One Drive folder in the post above. It also has some measurements, photos and room plan with dimensions. I currently have 2 subs, can probably throw in 2 more by cascading them, as my amp only has 2 independent sub outputs, but my subs allow attaching...

    My room treatment journey.

    I've uploaded my cinema room photos and other documents in this One Drive folder: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At756qpwT4usk9ZEnUZJg6FrzW2xlw?e=IerXnO The measurements are in "Measurements" subfolder. I have 6 seats in the room. Two in the front row and 4 in the back. The front row (seats 1 and 2) is...

    My room treatment journey.

    Hi, I've researched different companies from Acoustic Fields (Dennis Foley) to Verbox, Sonitus and Artnovian. The spectrum represents the balance between practicality, cost effectiveness, looks and effectiveness of the products. Acoustic Fields sells bulky and expensive furniture going to very...
