Hi John,
Been looking at your site, great resource! I have a room with trouble in the 600 Hz and below region. Room dimensions are 3.8 (L) x 3.2 (W) x 2.8 (H) - in metres. I don't want to sacrifice any high frequency energy at this stage, what would you recommend? I was thinking an acoustic hanger or similar suspended parallel with the roof (too late to build a false ceiling) or perhaps an acoustic absorber. Helmholtz will be too narrow and I don't want to use too much rockwool or similar as it will kill everything above 600Hz.
many thanks,
Dan.

Re: Acoustic hangers
Hi Dan,
There is an announcement at the top of the forum about what to do to assure getting as many responses as possible.
The announcement leads to this post (click here). Actually, several people, who are experts on this forum, will most likely not reply if you don't do what is written in that post. Many others who are very helpful, will most likely not reply out of respect for the moderators' wishes.
That said, there are many ways of dealing with problematic frequencies, but it's a good idea to try to identify the reason first, so posting as many details as possible about your room will help, such as exact dimensions, accurate layout, photos, plans, etc. Anything you can supply will help the experts here give you a better answer.
In any event, "600 Hz and below" is the usual place where problems are found in small rooms. What type of problems are you having, and what treatment do you already have in the room? Posting a graph of the room response and photos of your current treatment would be good.
