A. Rooms with good acoustics normally have minimal furniture...few windows, and few doors. the second option is best for a recording studio. The bigger the empty room is...the better the acoustics are.

A. Acoustics is the science of sound. Or, more technical terms "... the generation, transmission and reception of energy in the form of vibrational waves in matter." * A huge number of scientific problems and disciplines fit into this definition.Acoustics is by its very nature an inter-disciplinary field, drawing people from a widely differing backgrounds. A person who works as an 'acoustician' might be a physicist studying acoustic wave propagation, a mechanical engineer trying to control noise and vibration, an electrical engineer designing a new electroacoustic transducer, a civil engineer designing the acoustic properties of a building, an experimental psychologists studying psychoacoustics, a physician doing research in… [cont.]

Asked by Burninrock - Tue Feb 3 19:50:30 2009 - Home Theater - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Ideally you would: - Have some space behind the speakers because the back-echo sound creates the illusion of depth - Use a laser pointer to see where the speakers are pointing. - Try to get all the tweeters the same height from the floor - Corner load the subwoofer near the corner of the 2 longest, un-broken walls. Pull it in 1/3 or 2/5 along the longest wall as a good starting point to avoid over-enhanced bass. - Get a Radio Shack SPL meter and a setup disk like "Digital Video Essentials" and use it to level-adjust the sound from all the speakers at your primary listening position. - Play with 3 different angles for your front left/right speakers: So the sound intersects 2 ft in front of your chair, so the sound intersects… [cont.]

My church interior is being painted soon; I want to liven the acoustics. Is there a special paint?
Q. The sanctuary is fairly large, and has a moderate echo already. I am worried that the new paint will deaden the reverb, and am trying to find a paint that will keep the surface as hard as possible (even if it means repainting a coat on top of the pigment coat.) The church uses traditional music, choir and organ, and so would favor a live acoustic. Does this paint exist? I've heard about it being used, but I don't know if it's just rumors. Where can I find it?

How does temperature change the acoustics in a room?
Q. Hey all, I'm wondering just what the questions asks. In what ways do variances in temperatures change the sound acoustics in a room and why? For instance an empty ballroom as opposed to a ballroom with 1000 people in it? Thanks!
Asked by Fred Funkle - Fri Dec 12 16:19:49 2008 - Engineering - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Edit For each 5F deg change in room temperature there will be slightly over a 0.6 % change in sonic velocity. That will have little effect in the acoustics of any normal room. The presence of the 1000 people will have much more of an effect on the acoustics than the relatively small changes in the room temperature. Here you are actually comparing the change in a bare , acoustically "hard" room with it becoming an occupied "soft" room. With any bare ballroom, sound has unobstructed paths, and an exposed floor surface for additional reflections and echos. The people and also furniture will act as baffles or muffling interferrences to break-up the sound patterns.

A. Personally I prefer wood floors with a medium density area rug. but that would be more for a music room rather than a home theater room. The key is this system only for watching movies or are you wanting to listen to music as well. If so then you will want to be careful not to over damp the room and create a more neutral sounding room. For home theater system for movies yes generally they are heavily damped, as to make sounds more directional and pin point where sounds are coming from. In a music room this is not desirable. You want a room that has a 1 to 1.5 second delay this gives sound a more open and airy sound, as well as being more natural.

Asked by Twilight182 - Wed Aug 29 21:25:54 2007 - Performing Arts - 5 Answers - Comments

A. I personally own an electric acoustic and I love it. Even though i would rather have a solid body electric sometimes... Except when I am camping, because then you don't have any electricity. But when you do plug my guitar in, and distort it, it sounds really cool. The ones with a little mike in them and more versatile, I can play John Denver and also some hard rock on the same guitar. And if you want to play country, But LOUD country, you can too. If you are just starting, it doesn't really matter (this was my first guitar though) because after you learn on the nicest cheap one you can find, you will know the difference and you can be the judge of the difference.

What sites (or books) have good information about the physics and acoustics of the flute?
Q. I have already found the UNSW Music acustics page on it, which is very informative, but I am looking for an explanation that is slightly less technical (i'm an 8th grader doing a project, i'm fairly advanced and interested in physics though). I do play flute. Also if you know of a good introduction to acustics of instruments in general, that would be great too.
Asked by timnuoa - Mon Jan 7 22:31:11 2008 - Physics - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Unfortunately, there is very little good information and none that is less technical. There is still no agreement on what would make the ideal material for a flute (and why) and what passes for our current understanding of how the air column is set to vibrate is fairly recent. As flutist, you know yourself just how much of the flute's tone is determined by the player rather than the flute. Think of what this implies for a physics explanation of what goes on. As for other instruments, they are at least as difficult. Analyzing violins and other instruments of the class has been a major research project at MIT (with some lovely results, but hardly simple ones.) Sorry I can't be of more help.

Whats the difference between auditorium and orchestra style acoustics?
Q. I want a triple O acoustic for fingerpicking, I called Guitar Center and in my price range he recommended a Mitchell M0100svs. Never heard of the brand, but its called an Orchestra style acoustic. Just wondering if you could tell me the difference. Thanks for any info!
Asked by I Like Soul Music - Sat Aug 15 11:19:46 2009 - Performing Arts - 1 Answers - Comments

A. There are no absolute rules but in general an OM (Orchestra Model) has a 1 3/4" nut and a long scale (25.4"), and a 000 (triple-0) has a 1 11/16" nut and a short scale (24.9"). If you're playing fingerstyle the OM is a better choice because of the additional width at the nut and if you're a flatpicker then the 000 is preferable. However if you favor one scale length over the other then that could just as easily be the deciding factor. What I told you is CF Martin's definitions of the terms, and they invented it, after all. Mitchell is a cheap Chinese-made knockoff of the Martin. Better to get the real thing. If you want an OM get the Martin OM-21. I play a 30-year-old Martin OM-45 but that now lists for $10,000.

Will painting on my ukulele change the acoustics?
Q. I was thinking about painting an octopus on the back of my Lanikai LU-21, but I dont know if it'll change the acoustics significantly. I'd be using water-based craft paint, not anything heavy like laquers or plastic/oil based paints.
Asked by Gaby D - Thu May 7 00:51:46 2009 - Painting - 1 Answers - Comments

A. It most likely won't as long as the paint isn't too heavy. The acoustics would be mostly affected if you do something to the string and hole area. Acryllics might scratch off easily, since you're painting on the back, so you might have to use a heavier paint, but use small amounts of the heavy paint. You may need to use something glossy.

How do I make a room have better acoustics?
Q. Whenever I sing in the bathroom, (I know... Lame), it sounds so much better than when I do anywhere else in my house. My friend, who has been a pianist for years, tells me it's because the bathroom has better acoustics. How do I make it so my bedroom does too? Does it have anything to do with the amount of furniture? Or the type of walls?
Asked by karissadeya - Fri Apr 3 13:44:00 2009 - Decorating & Remodeling - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Yeah, bedrooms are not really known have great acoustics because you have the carpet, bedsheets, and other furniture that absorb sound instead of reflecting it. Bathrooms typically have great acoustics because there is a equal balance of reflecting sound waves from the floor and absorbing sound waves in the wall. There is no simple way you could make the acoustics in your room better unless you replace the carpet with hardwood flooring and take out a lot of the things which absorb the sound. If you want to go to a higher extreme and your bedroom is big enough and you have money, you could build a sound room in your bedroom. Thats all my suggestions.
