Where are bass traps more important? Front or Back?

[Azamat Bagatov]

To clarify: I'm talking about corner traps.

[Azamat Bagatov]

I guess nobody knows. This subsection of this forum sucks!

Your attitude sucks.

Front typically and straddling corners. Don't waste time and money on lenrds though. Go the bigger better and cheaper route. Make some. Thick ones.

Answer : Front first

[Syncamorea]

I would typically also answer front first, but if I was adding traps, I'd listen to them in a variety of positions, including back corners. Depending on the structure, windows, doors, etc., strange acoustical stuff can happen. But normally not, so at least trial them in front.

[Azamat Bagatov]

Ok, front. Only thing is they don't fit vertically, the ceiling is lower. Maybe I'll use a combination. I don't know if I feel like building my own. I'll see. thx

Most of the time I recommend the front. You can use the following test though to make sure.

Btw you might want to try one in each corner also

One in each corner for overall more balanced absorption throughout the room is what I am guessing.
