[Sursound] Ambisonic Cube reverberation attenuation with foam

[Tommaso Perego]

Hello Everyone
I was wondering if you could please help me solve the following problem.

I have encountered reverberation issues with an Ambisonic installation,
of dimension 5x5x2.5 meters (a squashed cube, so to speak).

I have noticed that reverberation is due to the proximity to the surrounding 
walls (7x12x6), causing 
imperfect appreciation of the spatial sound designs when heard in the middle of 
the cube.
Assuming that this is the correct understanding of the problem I was wondering 
if:

- surrounding  the cube with the following foam material

http://www.anyfoam.co.uk/sheet-foam.php 
  (the acoustic foam)

 would significantly reduce reverberation effect to better the definition 
inside the cube?

- where exactly would be best to put the foam? Would just the sides (excluding 
floor and ceiling) of the cube be enough ?

- should reducing the overall sound power improve the situation?


Looking forward to hear your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your help
Thank you

kind Regards

Tommaso
