measured my room

[Mixbuster]

Hey guys.
I downloaded the Room EQ Wizard, and measured my room. 3x2.80m and ceiling height is about 2.25m.
It's not treated at all.. How's the graph looking?

With the vertical dB per division removed, it's impossible to know.

You should also display the waterfall graph, which tells even more than frequency response alone.

Oh, I didn't see that the db value wasn't there, new graph comming very soon :p sorry.

My waterfall graph only showed from 0 hz - 40 hz :S leaving it impossible to read.

[Mixbuster]

Ok, here is a new mesurement..

And take a look at the watergraph, I don't get it.

Thanks!

Cool...now we can see what's going on, though the waterfall needs to be zoomed out more before it's much use.

The plot is utterly average for an untreated room. The answer is what it always is...tons of bass trapping. 6" bass traps would handle that 80-90Hz thing perfectly while 4" traps would work wonders for the stuff up in the 250-500Hz range.

What about, 3 monster traps (front corners and middle of back wall), one package of 244's for the back corners and one package of 242's for first reflections? From GIK?

Edit: Why does my waterfall graph only contain freqs. from 20 to about 250hz? not up to 800 as the other shows?

Set the time range (right side below) for 700 ms , window- 300ms.Setting the vertical graphic to shows 40 db range (instead 120db)will be ok.

You can do that (vertical range)and what you ask about (frequency) holding the right "button" of mouse and pressing the left,and moving the mouse (sure)- to adjust "zoom in" (db-vertical) and frequency amplitude (lateral).

Thanks, but I cant fix it :S I'll post my graphfile here, see if anyone of you can fix it.
Thanks again

Looks great, but I'd skip the 242's and replace them with 244's. Looks like you need all the low end help you can get, and the 244's will do the same thing as the 242's up in the high mids and highs.

Ok, i'd fully understand for the side reflections, but ceiling? Can you safely mount a 244 directly onto the ceiling?

You bet. Using sheet rock anchors and hooks...or toggle bolts. You can also span the rafters with 2x4 and lay into that with hooks to hang the traps from. People do it all the time.

What would the estimated price be?
