Sound Pressure Levels
 

Are sound pressure levels higher behind the speakers and sub woofers (Front wall) or in front of the speakers (Rear wall) (Side wall)?

The reason for my question is I’ll be adding an addition to my house that will include a dedicated listening room for me. It will measure 18’ 6” x 14’ 1” x 8”.

There will be 7 feet of storage space behind the front wall so I would like to place my equipment behind the speakers but flush mounted to the front wall. Basically the equipment will be in the storage area with just the face of the equipment in the listening room. So essentially no equipment which includes a turntable is in between the speakers.

Just want to make I’m not doing more harm than good placing my equipment there.

SPL levels are higher in front of the speakers.

Thanks Ivan! :thumbsup:

If you can avoid parallel walls that will eliminate some room problems in regard to sound. Good luck with the build!
