Therefore, when carrying out relevant home theater design, it can help us reduce a lot of unnecessary waste and losses. Among them, what are the environmental requirements for home theater design? This is something we need to understand well. As a theater room, we need to meet certain conditions to be considered a good acoustic environment. So what conditions do we need to meet? Experts have pointed out that the basic environmental requirements for a home theater are "darkness, spaciousness, and quietness".
First, let's talk about the characteristics of "quietness". In home theater design, it involves the treatment of the walls, floors, and ceiling of the theater room. "Quietness" here refers to the stability and coherence of the sound effect influenced by the indoor acoustic environment. At the same time, it is necessary to minimize the intrusion of various outdoor noises and light, and also confine the theater sound within the room so as not to disturb others' peace. To achieve "quietness", the following treatments must be done:
Generally speaking, most of our four walls are brick walls. Such walls have strong reflection for high, medium, and low frequencies, especially for high frequencies. Therefore, "appropriate" sound absorption becomes the primary task. The so-called "appropriate" means not to overdo it; if the sound is absorbed to the point of being dry and lacking in charm, it will be counterproductive. How should the four walls be treated for appropriate sound absorption? Let's start with the two side walls. What needs to be dealt with here is the first reflection of sound from the speakers. Why absorb the first reflection? If there is too much first reflection, it will lead to unclear positioning, and the sound will also be too noisy. So it must be absorbed. How to absorb it? You don't need to cover the entire wall with sound-absorbing materials; it's enough to place sound absorbers approximately in the middle between the speakers and the listening position. What should be the area of this sound-absorbing section? It should be at least 1-1.5 meters wide and two-thirds the height of the wall. Common sound-absorbing materials include mineral wool, glass wool, and polyester sound-absorbing cotton, among which polyester sound-absorbing cotton is preferred and can be made into soft bags. However, please note that never think that nailing wooden boards can absorb sound. The surface of a wooden board is flat, just like the original wall, and the wood itself is hard, same as the wall, so it has no sound-absorbing effect.
