ACoustic gurus,
         I have a small window (that's never used) on the left side of my audio room.  It's not in the direct point of side reflections, about 4 ft towards the back wall from my Real traps micro.   Are curtains enough to cover the window or should I put some spare 0C703 covering the window space.  I plan to keep the window space covered by drapes with either option.

For symmetry sake, I have some closets on the other parallel wall so I can't duplicate the curtains/703.   Or does it not really matter?

Thanks,

Rob S.

Is it behind the seating position?

It's closer to the left side 1st reflection panel than I thought,  about 1ft.   Pictures:

you could always install cellular blinds in the window then cover with heavy drape

KnowTalent,
     Yeah, those are nice, would go that route if my audio room was shared by my spouse...She doesn't care what's in there, as long as the bills get paid.    Curtains will likely be closed at all times, so might be money spent that's not fully enjoyed.  I bet that blind runs $100+  for a 30 x 30" window.

Using 703 is best, but a curtain alone is okay if the material is soft and absorbent, and the curtain is very thick and plush. Think thick pleated stage curtains. Most "home" type curtains are probably not gonna do the job.
