How do room acoustics impact the audio quality in a home theatre system?

A room’s acoustics can greatly affect your overall experience . The key to perfecting the room acoustics is getting the right balance of sound absorption in your space. Sound can become unclear and details are indistinguishable in a room that has minimal sound-absorbing materials, whilst too many soft furnishings or materials can deaden the sound and render the audio lifeless. 

 

How can I address any room acoustic issues in my home theatre space?

Whilst the subject of room acoustics for dedicated home theatre rooms can be highly complex and best dealt with by a specialist installer, there are a few simple steps you can take at home to improve the acoustic qualities of your space.

 

As sound waves reflect off flat, smooth surfaces like glass tables or large windows, one of the easiest fixes is to simply reduce the number of reflective surfaces – fabric curtains, upholstered furniture or carpeting can improve your room's acoustics design significantly.

 

You should also consider the positioning of the speakers in your room, as this can also affect the entire sound image.
