Windows behind speakers


Recommended Posts

Already tried without sound panels and they need to be there. I have been using this room for about 7 yrs with my model ones.

 

I have some extra ones so I may try them on the windows.

Like a shudder system?
(Or covering the window permanently?)

What about just using some drapes on the window?

The garbage truck here comes by once a week, but other vehicles are on the road.

However the birds make a racket from before the break of dawn to well after dark, and they seem to work in shifts.

This is probably not an uncommon occurrence for those of us without dedicated listening rooms. In my case, my listening room is also my living room and my placement options are really limited. I use pleated fabric shades on the windows which provide additional insulation and help filter out noise from the outside.  The resulting sound from my 3A Sigs does not appear to be adversely impacted. I have a wide, deep soundstage and the sonic response is smooth and detailed. I am happy with the appearance and the music as is my wife, and I’m not about to change anything.

Thanks Richard.  I have a window next to my left speaker that needs better treatment. I've been thinking about getting blinds and trying that as they aren't too expensive (dont' need custom size) .  Home Depot here I come.

On my recommendation Dick Hardesty put horizontal wood blinds and adjusted them for proper diffusion.  Worked very well for sound and could be adjusted for sight when needed.  RV

 

 

I couldn’t agree more. It’s amazing that a slight change in the closure of wooden blinds makes such a huge impact on sound… if I could only figure out how to get more bass then that would be the icing on the cake.. in the meantime I am just going to live with being impressed with the imaging…

Windows behind loudspeakers can work, just make the window disappear.  In this case the entire window frame is lined with anechoic foam behind heavy drapes.

Dual reel to reel is just gluttony. If you wish, I can share my home mailing address. Let me know when.

The thieves would need to work as a team, if they are as heavy to carry as they look.
Or they might take legal action for a workplace injury🤔

Wife is an insurance broker.  I’ll ask her is that’s on the workers comp. I’d assume the thief is an independent contractor and therefore not covered.
