Bass traps 8 in shy of cieling, big deal?

[Glenn Kuras]

My question is, how big a deal, relatively speaking, is it that these corner units don't go clear to the ceiling?

Covering tri corners (the space you left open) is generally better areas but you should be fine with how you have it. You might be able to see it in a test graph but I don't think you would actually hear the improvement.

Thanks Glenn,

I rethought where I was placing three of the panels, and now the corners are double (floor to (almost) ceiling). Test graph or no, adding 9 1/2 Rockwool panels really sounds like it's made a difference (at least to a CD of Wilco who I'm listening to as I try to figure out where to put everything now that my studio has shrunk.)

Thanks for the quick response...

You should do a test of both positionings and compare. It shouldn't make a huge difference.

Yeah, I know I should, but I hope to never touch these things again! lol
