The Correct Technique of Placing Acoustic Sound Panels in Interiors
Quick Summary: Know how to correctly place acoustic sound panels by targeting primary reflection points using the mirror trick. This blog covers optimal mounting height, combining wall panels with suspended acoustic panels for ceilings, and utilising corner bass traps to control low frequencies. Ultimately, this helps to aim for an ideal 20% to 40% room coverage. Identifying the First Reflection Points on Walls The most crucial areas for positioning wall-mounted acoustic sound panels are the first reflection points. These are the specific zones on your side walls where sound waves from your primary audio source bounce directly toward the listener's ears. Think of it like a game of billiards: the sound strikes the wall at an angle and bounces off at that same angle toward the seating position. If these primary reflection points are left untreated, the listener receives two versions of the same sound: the direct sound from the speaker and a slightly delayed reflection from t...
