Sonos 9.2.4 home theater setup acoustic treatment.

Hi,

I’m building a home theater setup. I have a 9.2.4 setup in the room (arc ultra + 2 gen4 subs + 2 era300 ). I want to do some acoustic treatment to improve sound since the room walls are empty and have too much reverberation. I’m looking into getting some acoustic panels maybe also some diffusers. I’m trying to figure out how much can I treat without affecting sound channels directionality.

I think I can put sound absorbing panels in the whole back wall behind the era 300 since sound doesn’t need to bounce back having back speakers. Also the front wall behind the Arc doesn’t need to reflect sound. 

Does anyone have experience or can share some advice?

Cheers.

Thank you Stanley, I was actually watching some videos yesterday on som diy sound panels. I will do some for testing. I was also looking at doing some bass traps to put in the corners but maybe its an overkill.

The key thing in sound treatment is to identify a problem before you start spending money. 

Given how flexible the Subis in placement there are few situations outside treatments are going to be needed.

Kick back, listnen, adjust and listen some more, get it as good as possible as a first step.
