Hello,
I start this poll to ask if there could be an interest in a new section about ACOUSTICS within Diyaudio forum.
I know several members including myself could see a real benefit from this and this could help to have everything covered into a dedicated place rather than looking through the different loudspeakers related thread for information.
This poll is informative only so don t expect it to mandatory end as a new forum section appearing soon (or ever).
This could happen or not as final decision will stay under control of the administrator/ moderator team.
That said if we ( as members) doesn t show an interest this isn t going to happen by itself so here it is.

Ok so here is my point of view about that: i m definitely in favour of it as trying to figure out informations about is tedious and spread over fairly different threads and subsections in the different loudspeaker subsections.
This can be really tedious to find info. Once the subject come into play this almost always make the thread going off topic too ( i'm guilty! I know...) which may be interesting or not at all!
This is a fact we have in the community some acousticians and members which have some very interesting point about that too and it may be fine to discuss this in a defined place and keeps other clean.
It could help everyone to better refine the choice made in projects to have an enjoyable experience as an outcome...
Well, i vote yes!
😉
Edit: i've open the poll for 4 weeks as i don t think it needs any longer.

What would be covered in this new group? Do you mean "Acoustics Theory"? "Acoustics" alone is as broad as "Audio". I would need a better definition (and name) before I could vote
I think acoustics theory, practical implementations, realisations, studies,etc,etc,...
But this is my view and the 'reason d etre' of this thread, talking about what it could be and what could be gained for us as a community ( or not).
I know some moderators will give theyr point of view about it too.
There is no rush about it and as stated this is informative.
So give your opinion about it and the way YOU see it could be.

We may have different relation to time going on ScottJoplin.
Anyway if it is to short i'm sure moderator team could do something about it.

Yes, psycho acoustic could be part of it ( well it is part of it ), room treatments, strategies deployed in domestic room or pro audio, the relation between them and differences, how we could achieve good reproduction in our room relative to our loudspeakers, why it could or could not work,...
How to build some room treatment ( bass trap, diffusors, etc,etc,...).
I think that theory helps too and explaining/ questioning it...
We have sometimes strong bias toward an ideal and having diverging opinions about them help in gaining knowledge in my view.

Yes please
I vote 'yes!' It has always surprised me that there is no dedicated forum for topics such as room acoustics or treatment. These are areas of audio with uncontroversially (one would hope) audible consequences and ones that are also relatively amenable to DIY experimentation.
I have a very simple concept of time: it doesn't exist😀

Yes, A separate forum on the subject would be good
And a dedicated section for headphones. There is one for headphones' amplifiers, but not for DIY transducers.

General discussion and help regarding room set ups and system level considerations could be quite handy but not so easy to separate out from speaker design considerations.
It has been discussed over the years, but never happened. Mostly the desire has been for a section on room acoustics and treatment, but there's no reason that other aucoustic matters couldn't go there.
I'm all for it. It a topic that should get a lot more attention. The room is important!

Great Idea!!
Acoustics is certainly a broad subject.
Just the difference between acoustics outside (no boundaries) vs. in room (average home listening room or car??) are endless.
Personally...I am a room acoustics fanatic!!😀

Methinks it will be a sparse, albeit very content-dense forum. But I'm a huge proponent of its inclusion, as it's the room where the elephant sits as far as playback. 😉
Bwaslo (?) I think suggested this although perhaps limited to room treatment a few years ago, it was ignored at the time 🙁
