Bass Trap Positioning with 10' Ceilings

ol drippy · 27th May 2010

Hey, I have a quick question if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it.

I'm putting up some 2x4 bass traps one in each corner of a 10' tall room. Do you put them halfway between the floor and ceiling or just halfway between the monitor sweet spot, leaving more space above trap then below. Or does it really matter that much with bass? I'd like to go all the way up but for now it's all I can do.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is not going to really matter for the most part. I would just mount them where you think it looks best, but make sure where you put the left one you also put the right.

Hey Glenn thanks so much for the reply, that's good to know. It's started to sound a lot better, i'll hit you up next time I need some 703.
