How To Get Good Bass In Small Rooms - www.AcousticFields.com

- - In today's video we're going to talk about how to get good bass in small rooms. Good bass usually is a thing that happens in larger rooms but obviously real estate's expensive and we all have to be relegated, if you will, to a smaller volume and space requirements. So how do we get good bass in small rooms?

So in today's video you'll learn:

1. Why matching the size of your driver to the size of your room is critical (and I give you some examples),

2. Why matching the right kind of acoustic treatment to the problem is imperative and

3. Why the location of that treatment must match the problem area or it won't work.

So enjoy the video and as always please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
Dennis,

this guy was kind enough to answer me to a lot of questions regarding my build of home studio!! These videos are really helpful and he really knows what he's talking bout

[bareknucklesu]

Look at the way this guy answers all of these questions! What an awesome guy to take the time to do that!

Sometimes I think this channel is overboard...but wow what a revelation.
I have mixed music to broadcast standard.
But never even thought about this.
Thanks!

G'day Dennis and greetings from Australia, Thank you for great input with the subwoofers, I've watched a few of your tutorials now, the one where you talked about frequency wave lengths and the measurements of different wave lengths was very helpful, I watched many others on YouTube and your the only one to go into this, cheers it's very helpful.

Thank you for this! A lot of these things I hadn't thought of, and they really helped me since I have a very small room to work in. A few minor adjustments suggested here really helped control the bass in my room! Cheers.

If there are two speakers and one is next to a wall but the other is next to a open space then can this speaker sound weaker than the other please let me know thanks.

Appreciate that ceiling tip for a last resort for the sub placement. I'll definitely have to check it out.

You're the man, Dennis! Your videos are light years ahead of anything else on youtube! Im learning so much and really appreciate the time you take to educate guys like myself! Thanks again bro!

Great video and a very nice presentation. It looks like a very short tutorial which helps us get an introduction about very fundamental stuff. Thanks for doing that!

I have a question.
Is the room size more important than woofer size in the low end frequency?
Behind a certain diameter, increasing it, the lowest frequency that the driver can produce it can be heard: it's correct?

Hello I have a small room that I wish to turn into a dedicated listening space.
Dimensions are 12FT x 12FT x 6FT Height (low heigh ceiling) Its in my basement and already enclosed by 4 concrete walls.

I have a pair of Martin Logan Electromotion ESL's and a Velodyne DSP15 (15 inch woofer) Driven by a rotel RSX1560.

Its a simple setup. However what do you recommend in terms of sound absorption / diffusers etc?

Appreciate your assistance,

[CJWarlock]

I have a small listening room and it's at the attic, co the ceiling is angled. Perfect summary of things to address in such cases in this video. Thank you. I think it will be useful to me! :)

[victornevares]

Awesome topics + great teaching, i can't thank you enough!

[kingsley]

Thanks for the video, they help explain a lot of things. Just wondering whether you have any advice for dealing with very large windows in a 10x13 feet room? I have one on the right wall (left wall is solid throughout) and and front wall between the speakers (rear wall is solid). There are curtains (but not so thick). Noticed that if I place the speakers on the window side, the low frequencies and imaging aren't as good as the solid wall side.

Scheduled a acoustic consolation . Want to consider my options

[tronicmg]

Hey - thanks for the video. much appreciated :)

i'm setting up a mixing/mastering studio. the space is 3.8m L x 2.75m W x 2.4m H.

i suspect i'm going to have to bring the dimensions in to 3m L x 2.4m W x 2.1m H after soundproofing (i'm thinking wooden framework, rock wool and plasterboard....). what kind of advice would you have in terms of most effective acoustic treatment?

or indeed any advice on those sound proofing materials that might assist in the acoustic treatment process?

thanks, James

Hello Denise, I apologize for this question, but I'm still learning. Anyhow bc I can't afford it, I'm running 2 passive subwoofers to a 5.1 reciever and both connected to the same sub out. My question is, am I running the wires right as is or do I need to do that bridge thing from the receiver to one sub to the next?

You are genius, and whether you are aware or not... you are an electrical N. Tesla ! Gave great insight into inductance and capacitance and delivered power here :D
