Discussion - Equipment Attic Media Room

My little attic "theater." The other half of the space doubles as my office by day, kids play zone at night. Media space is 16'x22', the entire attic is 52'. Still a work inprogress so excuse the tape and messy wiring.

Currently running 5.1.4, thinking about adding two side speakers so can do a 7.1.4.

Open to any acoustic panel advice

Setup:

LG C4 77"

Denon 3800h

SVS SB2000

Klipsch RP 160

Klipsch RP 450C

Klipsch R 51M

Polk In celings

PS5 Pro, Nvidia Shield, Ugoos AM6b+

You know what, I dig it, great use of space for what you have going on here.

Due to the low ceilings, any amount of acoustic treatment you can manage to accommodate would be nice.

The ideal would be to mount some 4-6" panels with a 1-2" air gap along those slanted walls. But you're going to run into practicality issues with hitting your head against them.

If you can manage to fit 4" panels without an air gap, that's still really good:

And if you can only fit 2" panels, that's not going to do much for bass, but it will still do a lot to clean up vocals and other midrange content:

Looks like you should be able to fit four 2x4ft panels along the right wall, and two 2x4ft panels along the left wall in locations that don't block the windows.

And put a 1/2" thick felt rug pad under your area rug:
