QUESTION TO THE SIDEWALL ABSORBER??

Hi @ all! First of all, it's an unbelivable Forum here. So much knowledge on one single webpage!! :shock: But i should have found this page 2 days ago. :-( My problem is: I have installed some side wall absorbers, but the bevel (side) is directly opposed (Hope my english is nearly correct) to the one discribed in the wall units of john. I hope you know what i mean. The face side is not turned away from the speakers like it is in the drawing of john's wall units. The face side is turned to the speakers. I added 2 pics. There you can see my wall units and the left side of my table. Now my question. Is the direction of the wall units that important and if it's important, why?? I really hope you can help me! Thanx a lot!

I have added 3 more pictures with a 3D draft for an overview of the room situation. I hope you can help me now. Thanks in advance! Cheers Thomas

if you picture the angle of reflection bouncing off your new wall coming from your speakers, you'll notice that if they were angled the other way, the sound would get reflected more towards the rear of the room and less towards the listener position. hope that helps a bit

Are your family name Behringer?? wow... Anyways, there's a couple of things about your studio design and layout that needs to be corrected. The room is asymmetrical and it really should be as symmetrical as possible. ie. the distance between walls and the actual position of where you sit has to be the same overall otherwise you'll not get a proper stereo image of what your speakers are putting out. The "absorber" you put on your left side looks like a wall made of drywall and that wouldn't absorb any sound just reflect it. so, as always, the general tip for people finding this site too late; spend some days/weeks/months reading all the stuff on this site and you'll find out pretty soon what's wrong with your design and what's right. best of luck a :arrow:

if you're not too far building alread, I agree with Andreas and STOP building and START reading. This site is an excellent resource. You'd be way better of rebuilding what is done than live with the damage. It's worth the pain... really.

An easy fix is to tear the sheet rock off, then take the framing down. If you don't it's gonna mess with your ears any time you are listening to something in that room. You can already hear that something is wrong....right ;) Then follow what Ro has suggested by taking Andreas advice. Did that make sense?
