There are a lot out there (like Ethan Winer's, etc...), and some of us don't want to be bothered with using a mirror as our primary method of obtaining the 1st reflection points in a symmetrical room (non symmetrical rooms, I'm sure the mirror helps quite a bit); so here is a nice calculator that figures out all the 1st reflection points for you:

Just read and follow the instructions on the website.

Anand,

Thank you for posting this!
I had gotten close with the mirror but now my room sounds much better!

Great link!

My first thought was that by the time you measured all the distances you could have found the spots with the mirror in less time!

Too much math and in the metric system, no less. My mirror works just fine.

There is no reason to use metric. You can input the numbers in feet/inches or cm/meters. I do it in inches, works fine.

Perhaps, but I've become more OCD in my old age

If you are really OCD, you measure, then do the calculations to be absolutely sure! Of course, all results are in an Excel spreadsheet. [Disclaimer: I'm guilty as charged].

Thanks Anand. Both the Great Room Mode Calculator & 1st Reflection Points Calculator are very cool.

I hear ya.

I've always used this.  Works great.  Three measurements, simple math.

I measured inches and converted into cm!
It only took a few minuets longer, but the results were worth it.
Using a mirror I got the first reflection point to the outside of the driver. What I didn't get with the mirror was the reflection point from the inside of the opposite driver. I had a 2'x2' area covered, and now it's 3'x2' placed horizontally.

New converts. Just one at a time

I just made some sound baffles and I am going to give this calculator a try. Do I just enter in INCHES?  I dont see where to change from cm to inches etc.?

[poseidonsvoice]

Hi!

It doesn’t matter if it is inches, cm, or meters. It’s relative, because it is based on ratios. Just be consistent throughout the equation.

Best,
Anand.

[undertowogt1]

I see. Very cool. Thank you.

[AudioDwebe]

This is so very cool, and timely, as I get my other shipment of GIK 244s tomorrow.  The shipment was split and a few boxes arrived a week before the other.

Thanks.

Pretty cool the web page is still active; not often the case with a four-year-old link. Figuring all those angles reminds me of playing pool.

Havent seen this one! Thanks
