My room is pretty big. about 50 square meters. It is rectangular space.Where my desk is the forward wall of wood, brick wall in right, and left wall of wood. The roof is concrete, and the floor is concrete,. I have basstraps in the Front corners, but they do not reach all the way up. Could there be a space at the top? Or is it best that there is space on the ground? We are talking about 35 cm gap.
I have also attached pictures of the rest of the room. Tell me what you think, and what I "should" do ??. And all way back at the room? Any suggestions, help?
I will post photos soon!! My network is slow!!

Its not going to really matter as low end builds up in the whole corner. I would do what ever is easiest and looks the best. Any gain from top or bottom (or even centering it) is something you might see in a test graph but you probably would never hear it.

You could use the following to test the corners to find the ones that have the most build up. Video: Testing Bass Trap Placement |

Your room looks to have good potential. You should prioritize treatment behind your monitors highly, as well as a cloud. Treating the sidewall mirror points will also have an audible impact.

Next step is cloud. So hope to get the room up running soon. What do you think of the speaker width. Should I angled them more?

The acoustic axis of the speakers (typically at the tweeter on two-way speakers) should be aimed directly at your ears like this shows: http://www.gikacoustics.com/education.html#speaker |

So I'm a bit confused! | Unless the speaker has a flat frequency response about 25-30 degrees of axis, you should follow normal recommendations for monitor setup. Best is to experiment and measure naturally.

Perhaps they are a bit flatter of axis and if so; simply try some different angles until you feel comfortable with the response (or measure it, but then make sure that you know what you´re doing in terms of different types of measuring mics and how to aim them properly and what their limitations are in the upper frequency range).

I assumed it was similar for most two-way monitors, but as usual - check your manufacturer's specs and see where the actual acoustic axis is on your monitors when positioning them.

Help, anyone!
I just got my MM6 today and have no clue how to hook it up. I've been at it for hours searching on line and need some help how to hook her up.
I went on Youtube, internet, you name it. I know now you need interface cables, power pa amplifier. Even though Youtube states you only need an USB connection. Can someone please tell me step by step how to make it work.
Thanks!!

Is this close, or would you say it's far away?

Maybe a little more punch when I'm angeling them. |
