Home Theater Design Small Room
Is there anyone here who is educated about room accoustics?
I want to design a home theater. Not a wal-mart home theater, like most people have and refer to as a home theater just cause they have more than two speakers. A small scale theater with projector and all.
I’ve got the equipment, but want to know about accoustics.
The room I want to use is roughly 10′ x 20′. When the home was built, it was a porch, but has long been made into part of the house. there are windows on all three outside walls. The two short walls have doors as well. The house wall has doors on both ends, with a 10′-ish space between, where I want to project the picture.
I plan to re-panel the inside walls. What should I use? carpet? wood?
One way to prevent reverberation is to make sure that no walls are parallel. If that’s not an option, carpet would work pretty much the same. I do some home recording and I have collected drink holders from fast food restaurants and stapled them to 4′ x 8′ plywood and just leaned them up against the wall. Obviously, asthetics is not an issue in my recording room.
