Audiophiles often face a challenge: achieving great sound without a dedicated room. This project shows how a living room was transformed into a high-fidelity listening space, solving long-standing acoustic problems.
The homeowners had invested in a high-end Focal speaker system, but their living room's acoustics caused an uneven frequency response, particularly in the bass and highs. We brought in Ekustik® to provide a data-driven solution.
A Targeted Acoustic Solution
First, we conducted detailed acoustic measurements to pinpoint the problem frequencies. Based on our findings, we designed a comprehensive treatment plan:
- Bass traps were installed in the front corners to control the boomy low-end.
- Parametric diffusion panels were added to the front wall to break up sound waves and prevent distorted high frequencies.
- Acoustic resonators were strategically placed at key reflection points on the side walls and ceiling, specifically tuned to absorb a problematic frequency at 120 Hz.
This Ekustik® full-service project included the following:
- initial acoustic measurement
- creating the project plan & visualizations
- sample service for the client to choose the final wooden and fabric finish
- custom manufacturing
- professional installation
- setup of the listening position with correct speaker placement & acoustic measurement after the treatment
The client was thrilled with the result, stating, "I was very skeptical at first because it costs a lot of money, but it really worked. I got the best out of my Focal speakers without even using an equalizer."
This project demonstrates that a truly high-fidelity setup is possible in any space with a precise acoustic solution.
