Hi all-
From what I have read, a barrel vault ceiling is a very undesireable configuration, acoustically.....
I am trying to understand a bit more on the subject, can anyone point me to a good discussion about it? I searched here and came up empty, sorry if its already been in play.
(I am doing a new room soon, and I have a challenge: the roof structure will slope 'shed style' across the room the short way, so in order to create a decent listening environment, the ceiling shape needs to be altered. I could just slope it from the middle so as to be equal, but then the thought of a barrel or other config. came into my mind......The low side is only 8' before treatment, and the high side is 10' so making it flat is not a great solution I think)
Thanks,
Erik
