Re: Bass Trap and Diffusor Question


I should have wrote panel absorber instead of trap. I'll probably make a few 2x2 or 2x4 panels for the first reflection points. The reason why I thinking smaller bass traps is that I have limited room and super chunk traps will protrude out from the wall quite a bit. I plan on putting up some curtains and a valance around the screen so the super chunk type trap will mean the curtains would be a foot and a half out from the wall. I suppose I could angle the curtains over the face of the trap. I'm not sure how good that will look though.

I also can't place a trap in the rear right corner due to the doors in that area. I could place a 7'7" x 1'6" x 4" panel absorber there though.

I have some floor plans on my construction thread. The room is basically 10x20 with the first row of seating about 10 ft back from the front wall. There is roughly 20" of space to either side of the screen and about 24" to the lip of the stage at the sides.

If you take a look at some of the other recent pictures on that thread you'll see the big bulkhead running across the width of the room. Should I put a corner trap along it or would a 4" panel absorber be better?

So looking at my room plans and pics of it furnished, what would you recommend for room treatments?
