Re: Best bass trap insulation material - Australia


From memory, the green line is with the sub in the corner and the LP as per the diagram. The purple line is the sub as per the diagram and the seating about 750mm (30") further back. It's really the seating position that made the most difference. I don't know if it makes any difference that the sub has two opposing PRs so one will have to face up close to a wall - is that ok?

Are you suggesting place the sub in the corner in front of a trap, or not? I haven't tried moving my mains much - they were in line with the centre speaker and facing forward but the way they are now sounds so much better for positioning (with one listener - worse for two side by side).

Your suggestion for the 6" panels on the rear wall (it does get very boomy the further one goes back) - is that in addition to placing corner bass traps or before installing the corner traps? Also, what dimensions would you suggest for the rear wall panel? I forgot to mention the ceiling height is 2.4m.

Many thanks.
