When we think of getting the best audio experience out of a home surround system, the speakers are the first things to come to mind. While speakers are important, your room’s acoustics can make or break your audio experience. This is because after sound leaves a speaker, much of the audio we hear in a room is reflected — sound bouncing off walls, ceilings, and floors. Standing waves, bass buildup, and flutter echo are the most common acoustic issues that can distort sound quality.
Getting reflected sound under control can keep it from muddying the clarity and detail of what we’re listening to. That’s where acoustic treatments like diffusion panels, bass traps, and acoustic panels come in. These treatments can help manage reflections, allowing the audio from your surround sound system to reach your ears as intended, creating a more immersive and true-to-life listening experience. They also block external noises, ensuring you can hear every whisper and sound effect without outside interference.
