Description
This is a summary of the Media Room and its operational components as of June 2024.
After the recent changes of the last incarnation, the cinema part of the room was already complete, but the back wall behind the Genelecs was still a work in progress. Recently, I added the final touches in the form of four ArtNovion Douro W diffusers. Before installing them, I removed the two square white panels, which are pieces of Akotherm. While these panels were helpful in the beginning to combat flutter echo, their function was diminished after installing the T Akustik diffusers. Nevertheless, as I found when removing them before installing the 4 Douro panels, a strong flutter echo returned, confirming their usefulness up until this point.
See the dedicated HFA History page 34 for detailed info on how this space was created.
