Sorry to go "SAC" on ya...important point to clean up though |
By all means, SAC away.
Decay time is what I was after with that statement.

Very cool.
If you don't mind me asking, how is that analysis done?

The cloud is actually running the other way (8'W and 4'L), but that makes sense to me.

That sounds good and something that I can focus my understanding on. Thank you for that.
As the 1,0,1 is concerned, I was thinking of doing the superchunks along with some sort of acoustical hanger baffling. I'll measure with just the superchunks first, and then we'll see where I'm at.
I am also considering pulling the R30 out of that back wall section and doing something else with the space.
Maybe trying hangers there, as well.
As a side bar, what do you think about the 2 sets of monitors idea and the theory behind it?
Thanks so much, Jeff.
