placing wood panel traps ?

pilldriver · 24th January 2008, 08:15 PM

hi all,
need please some help on placing resonant traps.

i have 4 wood panel traps (80 x55 x 16 cm) resonat freq 70hz.
should i place them to the backwall direct behind the mix position or to the corners from the backwall?(front wall already treated with fiberglass)

there is no corner on the left side, behind the mix postion, its a small "walk through" to the next room(without door)

If those traps are tuned to 70 Hz I'd put them on whatever walls correspond to a resonance at that frequency. It might be the front and rear walls, or maybe the side walls. Since you didn't give the size of your room I won't even guess. FYI, 70 Hz relates to room dimensions of 8 feet, 16 feet, 24 feet, and so forth.

Sure. If they're not so large and heavy they'll fall down.
