8.6 A Listening Room Example
In order to make these points more clear, an example of a room layout is given in Figure 8.5,
illustrating the principles we have given.
Figure 8.5 - Example listening room. The area around the speakers is free of objects
that would produce early reflections. A tapestry is hung opposite the draperies to
absorb the reflection from the side-wall and to help maintain left-right symmetry.
The area behind the listening position contains items which help break-up standing
waves and flutter echoes. Heavily upholstered sofas will help avoid low-frequency
standing waves, while a carpet absorbs early reflections from the floor.
