I ran a sine wave test in my room

[Strobian]

Well I need some more room treatments to address a few problems. I have some auralex stuff in the room, but what would you recommend. Here is the file, it wasnt done with a calibration mic but I think it shows a bit. I also am using Adam S3A and the low end rolls off a bit because of the woofer size. I am considering going to Klein and Hummels after this.

Any recommendations is appreciated.

Agreed, that is why this is posted in the acoustic panels forum.

If you want to get useful information out of this, you need to get a program that will plot amplitude vs Frequency at the very least.

I've just looked at the issue through a analyzer and I can see what frequencies are lacking or hyped. I might have to try some GIK or Real Traps.

Yes, that's the solution. You don't even need to measure! Really. What you need is bass traps. The more you have, the closer to flat you'll get. It's that simple.

Also make sure you are set up right in the room. Please over look this all the time. You want to face the short wall in the room and start by sitting back 38% of the room length. You may find moving back or forward from that spot will yield better results. After you have done that then place the treatment and remeasure to see how you are doing.

Will do. I have some limitations with it as far as positioning, due to some other areas in the room.

Thank you for the responses.

I see you have some megatraps coming out soon. I have some auralex lenrds, but they dont do much for low bass really. Where is the best place to put the megatrap if you can only get a few now. Back or Front Speaker corners ?

It's impossible to know for sure without experimenting. But I usually suggest the front corners first. If nothing else, that helps tighten up the front of the room at low mid frequencies, nearer to where you listen.
