Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
My media room has one wall that is 80% windows. I was wondering if I get automated blinds, if they have any effect on reflection, or are they acoustically transparent? In California, we don't have basements, so most rooms have windows. What are the best solutions or providers?

Re: Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
I'm in the same boat as you. We live at the beach so we have lots of huge windows. And of course the wifey factor comes into play. I think I will have to eventually go with treatments on a stands. Identify their location, mark the location either by measurements or by some mark or photograph and utilize them when its " music time" and remove them and store in another room when any listening session is over. I can forget the really high ceilings for treatment.

Re: Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
in my old room, Rives had me use vertical blinds that were littered with holes/weave. Sorta diffusion and it worked well. it also looks much better than heavy drapes imo

Hi Microsorber do such transparent acoustic stuff, you can see some pics here of a room I visited. System belongs to a guy named Joel, a 6 moons reviewer in Paris. Those transparent things on ceilings can also be used on windows.

Re: Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
Recently someone suggested to me that I should get wooden venetian blinds. Wood is a good surface for audio and the blinds would produce some diffusion...

Re: Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
I agree that they are a good thing. The wooden blinds can be adjusted & the window/door behind them can also have an effect on the sound. The last room I set up for myself I had drapes with sound absorbing material backing, 360º that pulled into the corners. These were very adjustable & when folded into the corners were hardly noticeable.

, We are looking into one. We have a whale watching season here in the winter time. The Right whales, which can grow to 70 tons and 55 feet long, are sighted every winter off the Atlantic coast between Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral. They actually get pretty close to the shore. Pretty cool and amazing seeing something that large right off your coast. .

Re: Best treatment solution for wall of windows and sliding door
A wooden blind would act as a diffuser which is great for reflecting surfaces such as glass but maintains the active nature of the space by dispersing the sound waves as opposed to absorption panels/curtains which would deaden the space.

They had the new unit at Axpona paired with the F-02 in a good, not uber expensive system, and it was clear the new unit was contributing extensively to the quality of that room's sound. Sent from...
