Broadband Absorber Positioning Question

Long time reader, 1st time poster here. Great thread. Lot's of creative/innovative DIY-ers and incredibly helpful pro contributors. I'm learning and improving as a result. Thanks to all.

I made 4' X 2 ' X 4" broadband absorbers to straddle all four corners of my small mix room. Ceiling is 9 ft. high. I know optimal coverage would be floor to ceiling but I can't do that right now.

QUESTION #1: Is there a "best" height to mount the absorbers?

Also, I made 4' X 2' X 2" broadband absorbers for the "cloud" to be ceiling mounted above my mix position. Everything I've read on here says hang it 2" from the ceiling. My problem is a ceiling fan.

QUESTION #2: Other than removing the ceiling fan, what is the 2nd best alternative and will it be effective?

I'm clear on the placement of the absorbers for the 1st reflection points.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Zute
