I Need Help Placing Traps

[doog]

HI,

I Made 8 broandband traps/absorbers.

5 of them are 6 inch thick

3 are 4 inch thick.

Here's my placing plan:

Check the link for a picture

The Blue ones are the 4" traps and the red ones are 6". the upper left corner is supposed to have a 4" trap on top of a 6" trap.

DO you have any opinions what would be the best way to place them?

help would be highly appreciated,

thanks a lot!!

Everything looks pretty good to me, but you may want to put a couple more 6" panels on the back wall. Also it might be good if you delete your duplicate post. Just think if EVERYONE double posted.

Hi Doog,

The panels in the wall/wall corners are good, that's a no-brainer. I think you'll want to experiment a bit with the blue panels in your drawing. I'd try them in 3 places, other than what you have indicated. See which place sounds best to you.

1. Try the place you have on the drawing, ie, wall/ceiling corners on the side walls.
2. Try them on the side walls at the first-reflection points, spacing the panels out about 4" from the wall.
3. Try them on the rear wall first-reflection points, again spaced out 4" from the wall.
4. Try them in the wall/ceiling corners of the front and rear wall.

My guess is that you might like #2 best, if imaging is important to you. If flat bass is more important, one of the others may sound better. Eventually I'd put traps at all these locations if you can.
