Help to reduce BOOM

[bappa]

Dear Friends,

I am having a pair of MISSION M35i with CAMBRIDGE AUDIO 651A.
It is producing an extra BOOM, which is not at all desirable, the rear port of the speaker is ONE METER AWAY from the rear wall.
Please help./......:sad::sad::sad::sad::sad::sad:

What is your source? Nine out of ten times it is a bad source.

First, did you block the ports and try?
If yes, then google "Corner Bass Traps".
That is what you need, if it still booms.

You have couple of options.

Move the speakers away from corners, towards the center. Are there any other objects right in the vicinity of the speakers? like cabinets, TV or any other thing? A picture of the setup would help.

Second choice would be to use the bass control on your amplifier and bring it down 2-3 db and see if it helps.

Once you have identified the issues, you can work to get the bass traps / acoustic treatment to tame the bass.

May I know which cable are you using? Also you can upload pictures of setup and it's surroundings.

Please post your setup picture in regard to location.

What is your room dimensions (W X H X D) ?

 

[sumit.kolkata]

The speaker cable is Norstone Classic, Interconnect QED Audio Performance II & Chord Crimson Plus

Could you please post a picture of your setup - if your speakers are too close to the corners, there will definitely be boom.

1) move the speakers away from walls/ corners
2) plug the rear ports tightly with sponge
3) the most difficult part - start room treatment

Let me try..then I will post the result

1) move the speakers away from walls/ corners
2) plug the rear ports tightly with sponge
3) the most difficult part - start room treatment

not tightly
loosely

tightly will cause an adverse effect

many clients use polyfill to stuff the port - otherwise an old sock will do too

 

[manoj.p]

or old banian will do too.

Do the speakers have spikes on the bottom?
