i think you will find your answer here..

Corners - Superchunks or Panels?
Thanks for that, a very informative read. I will just use a corner panel for now, going by the 'quantity not quality' rule that seems to apply with surface area coverage of acoustic treatments.

For £120 on ebay I can get 16 100mm panels and 16 50mm panels of RWA (1.2m x .6m), at 45kg/m^3. At the weekend I will go to a local wood suppliers and pick up some 18mm MDF to start making frames. Here's a layout of where I intend to put panels. Please let me know if this seems ok or not. I've had to work around the room quite a lot (door frames and the window), plus I've still got to work out how to fit all my instruments and other gear in!

As you can see from the renders (hopefully...):

- first reflection panels on the sides and ceiling
- bass traps in 4 corners
- 2 bass traps along the front wall resting on the floor, 2 along the back
- corner traps on the ceiling

What do y'all think?
Regards

50mm panels are blue, 100mm panels are red. Image 2 is the view from the back facing forward (little floating head added at listening position). Image 3 is the view from the front facing towards the back.
