In Reply to: Using PLANTS for room treatment with Merlin VSM series speakers? posted by mshan on July 28, 2002 at 09:07:37:
"I've read that you can use plants to effectively treat a room acoustically."Depends on what is meant by "effectively" - As far as I know, most plants would do very little for any kind of lower frequencies, but it could scatter higher frequencies fairly well.
"What characteristics are you looking for in the plants and where should you place the plants?"
Characteristics: I personally would go for a more dense plant, and one with decent sized leaves. Small leaves and sparse brances wouldn't be as effective.
Placement: I'd go with any reflection points. The most important would be side reflections, because they are usually the ones that do the most damage. Next to that would be from behind. The last reflection point to treat would be the front wall because these reflections have to be louder to be heard because they're comming from the same direction as the speakers, and they are usually lower in level (unless you have planars).
"Can artifical (i.e. silk) plants be as effective as real plants?"
I'm sure it wouldn't make much of a difference. The plant might be a little more reflective, but this isn't an exact science we're speaking of, so I would just get what you perfer.
Good luck and take care!
