Listening for the test trackTap Listen when the track starts
A lively room with a bass bloom
Hard floor and bare walls make voices sit forward. A note near 45 Hz lingers after the bass stops.
Try first, at no cost
A thick rug between you and the speakers
Speakers 20 to 30 cm further from the back wall
A full bookcase on the side wall nearest the window
Curtains drawn while listening
A phone microphone is not calibrated. This is the character of the room, not a measurement. The full assessment gives numbers you can act on.

Drag to orbit
Brass panels show proposed placement. Corner traps address the 42 Hz ring; wall and ceiling panels sit at the first reflection points for your seat.
Assessment
Your room rings in the bass and sits forward in the mids
Six positions measured. The findings hold across the seating area, so treatment benefits every seat, not only the first.
A note at 42 Hz hangs onDecays over 0.9 s, more than twice the rest of the range. This is the room, not the speakers.
Side-wall reflections arrive earlyStrong echoes 4 to 6 ms after the direct sound blur the stereo image.
The mids decay too slowly0.52 s against a target of 0.3 to 0.4 s for a room this size.
The treble is rightAbove 4 kHz the room is already well behaved. Nothing to treat.
