Learn How this room was tuned

Sound in the room

The room from above, with its sound worked out as you watch: how the bass, the mids and the highs spread, reflect and fade.

The AVAAs and the acoustic panels are not in the signal chain; they change how the room sounds. GIK panels cover the front wall behind the speakers, the ceiling between the speakers and the sofa, and the rear wall above the sofa. GIK TriTrap corner traps hang above both AVAAs.

How this room was tuned

Room modes
Why the walls of a room this size shape its bass more than the speakers do, and where each low note peaks and all but vanishes.
Active bass absorbers
How the two PSI AVAA C214s in the rear corners take in the bass notes the room exaggerates, with electronics rather than bulk.
Room correction
How the system was measured across the whole sofa and how Dirac Live corrects its tone and timing, with Dirac’s own demo to listen to.
The Uni-Q driver
Why the LS50 Wireless II plays its treble from the centre of its cone, and what absorbs the sound behind the tweeter.
