ITB, No tracking, but in need of treatment

smoke · 13th May 2008, 04:07 PM

Hey,

I've been looking at getting 2 GIK244s and a GIK DI Diffuser just to tighten up the bass and mids I'm compensating for in this room. It's not too serious, this is just a hobby, I'm not tracking anything live, and I do not work at a high level. Just want to ensure that the corners are treated, and possibly take care of the left wall across from the bookshelf.

Attatching a scan for better explanation:

The room is fairly small, and rectangular. The entire right wall is covered with a full bookshelf and a desk that has various equipment stacked on. There are unremovable junk on both front and back right corners of the room. (This is a small NYC rental apt!) Drywall, wood floors, average ceiling height.

I need to get something in the tight corners behind the HS80Ms on either side of the window. Please note the water heating pipe to the right. Can I put a trap over this? (traps may need to have special width to fit these spaces... the room is not as wide as appears in the sketch)

I have available wall space on the left, and possibly the back wall... maybe on the door. Hoping to do this as quickly as possible, since I am off work next week and can rcv the package via delivery. (I mean like overnight or 2nd day and done)

Any ideas appreciated. I'm ready to listen.

HALP!!

244's straddling the pipe should be no problem. We can custom size them if you can't just straddle at a bit different than 45 degrees. 45 takes approx 17" along each wall. If you can, I'd go for 2 pair in the front corners for now and skip the diffusion if necessary to get the bass under control. 10x20 is going to have a lot of overlap.

Thanks. When I get home maybe I'll measure how much space there actually is, maybe add a real photo, and them email it up.
