Hi guys, I already have bass traps in all four corners of my room but I still have some pretty bad room modes resulting in big peaks at 60/120hz and dips at 80/160hz. Here are the response curves for the left, right, and both speakers from REW prior to applying filters:
I spent hours and days messing around with speaker placement and my current setup is the best I can do in terms of matching my target room response curve aside from these modes. Using REW it seems the peaks can be pretty easily dealt with. However, the dips are a different story. Even with a max gain of 16 I cannot get the dips to be even within +- 5db of my target curve.
So my question is...I assume I need more bass traps? If so, what is next logical position for them? Sidewalls? Front wall between the speakers? Front wall directly behind speakers? Back wall? If the answer is yes to all positions, then where should I start that would be most effective? Due to financial restrictions I would like to treat one area at a time. Thank you!
