[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 40440, member: 42"] Re: Acoustic treatment alternatives You've made some really good points which I'm taking under advisement. I know quite a bit about sound reinforcement but admittedly I'm not an expert in acoustic treatment. It never occurred to me that the room could be made "overly dead." The point about potential cost savings hiring a consultant and not treating most of the surfaces is an excellent one. So that leads to my next couple of questions: what should one expect to pay for initial consulting and, anyone have a lead on a reliable consultant in the Sacramento or Reno/Lake Tahoe area (we're in between). I will say we have a competing venue in town that has done extensive sound treatment by completely batting the ceilings a well as a bunch of panels. It is for all intensive purposes a "dead" room. And though they don't have the best or most powerful PA in there, the room sounds great for rock shows and theater arts. That said, it's a much different shaped room which of course may have required extensive treatment. Greg [/QUOTE]
