Corner superchunk height

shadewind · 19th June 2008, 02:19 PM

How much does the height of a corner super chunk matter for the amount of absorption? Does it have to reach from the floor to the ceiling? I was think of making ones that go from about table height and extend maybe 1,5 meters upwards, would that be effective at all?

The taller the better. Further, the more total corner surface you treat, the better. Always. And remember, most rooms have 12 corners, not four.

what corners are more important?...(or should I say)h What corners should be treated first in the case of limited traps?

Start with front corners then back corners.

What about Tri-Corners versus Bi-Corners?

Doesn't more bass accumulate in the Wall/Wall/Floor or Wall/Wall/Ceiling Tri-Corners than in the middle of the Wall/Wall Bi-Corners?

Definitely you should trap wall/wall/floor and wall/wall/ceiling areas (floor to ceiling corner trapping) when at all possible.

Are these the highest of priority to trap first?

What's the best method for treating Tri-corners? Maybe a 2'x2'x2' 705 cube trap?

I made mine 24" 24" 34". Did I waste time, space and money?
