Details

Hi Jeff, the devil is in the detail as always. If I had sound bouncing around between the back of a console and the front wall I would cover both probably. In many cases we have a screen or screens between the speakers so the front wall is obscured at that level. In my room I found it necessary to install a flutter control panel on the front wall above the height of the screens. There was a direct path to an area of plaster high up in the centre of the back wall. One MicroTrap was plenty. I tried an array of MiniTraps behind my monitors and could measure nor hear any change whatsoever. I do have the full size 32 inch superchunks in the front two corners though. I fully agree about set theories and assumptions versus experiment. It seems to be always best to try temporary experiments. e.g. prop a bunch of traps temporarily on the front wall and measure what happens.
